Cable Pulling Services offered: 

Our experienced technicians are trained in the latest cable pulling techniques and utilize specialized equipment to ensure safe and efficient cable installations

• Low-Tension Winches
  • Fiber optic cable pulls require winches that can provide precise control and maintain very low pulling tensions.
• Tension Monitoring:
  • Continuous monitoring of pulling tension is essential. Digital tension monitors provide real-time feedback, allowing technicians to make adjustments as needed.
• Proper Rollers and Sheaves:
  • Rollers and sheaves with large bend radii are used to minimize stress on the cable at conduit bends and entrances.
• Intermediate Lubrication:
  • For longer pulls, lubricant may be injected into the conduit at intermediate points to further reduce friction.
• Figure-Eight Laying:
  • When storing fiber cable on the ground, or in a spool, it is important to figure eight the cable, this prevents kinks and twists.

By employing these specialized techniques and precautions, we ensure the successful installation of underground fiber optic cable, delivering reliable and high-performance connectivity.
