It is not so easy to handle fiber optic cable and perfect splicing skills in fiber optic industries. These are two markable skills to be taken care of very consciously. I am from India having expertise in fiber optic splicing techniques. I'm retired from an FO R&D sector, but able to serve in this field very successfully. Thanks
Anton Stener a shop vac and plastic baggy on some line will usually get through. Our mule tape broke last week when pulling 7700ft underground on an 18,000ft run. We had 9000ft one direction to the first splice in the air and 9500 the other direction, 7 vaults total, 4 90s. We were going through 2 90s when the mule tape broke and the vault we were pulling to was 1500ft away from the vault the fiber was being pulled from. All they give us are 20,000ft reels regardless of how long the run is, usually it’s 288ct. On that run we had 3k extra foot which is average in this project. Also they placed a vault directly next to the riser pole instead of just going straight up it for the other 1800ft of aerial to the splice that direction.
Gotta pull 3000’ of 432 count fiber through 6 different manholes whose conduits have been filling with dirt since the 80s tomorrow with only 2 other guys. Ima just use the mini ex track. My hands would simply fall off.
I live in the second largest city of Austria and still have 7Mbit/s over VDSL Long Range. We are nearly the last place in the EU in terms of FTTH connections.
25 starting pay here in Colorado. You earn your money but we're working 60 hrs a week and the money is great. Went from HVAC to fiber pulling and directional drilling, it was a great change.
It depends on the distance of the inner duct run and whether the interior of the duct is smooth or ribbed. And if someone remembered to bring the polywater or whatever pulling lubricant being used.
i bet it would suck if somebody tried servicing a fiber optic cable under tension and it snapped spraying them in the face with a bunch of super super thin pieces of glass haha oops
You would work on a fiber cable under tension because it isn't allowed to be under tension. It's like pulling copper cables through conduits. Both are under during the pull but relax after the pull. And if a fiber cable breaks, then someone screwed up and allowed an excessive amount tension to build up during the pull. There wouldn't be a spray of glass particles hitting anyone. The cable is being pulled laterally, so any break would be a lateral break. The cable would literally be pulled apart.
Starting a job tomorrow pulling fiber for the first time ever so this helped alot! Wish me luck!!

How much does this whole setup cost from the vault roller to the fiber optic puller
If it's close enough to rod, you can pull that fiber in by hand. I'm sure that was less than a 1000'. I've used that machine on runs over a mile.
Thanks for that, very informative. One question - shouldn't the optic cable puller and other devices be covered to avoid rain?
Dmitry Stepanov dont work in rain! lol day off
Those industrial machines run of gas with little electrical components in them(the starter for the engine ). They are made to work in the rain.
Step 1: Rod the conduit. Step 2: Tape cable to rod and pull through. Step 3: Enjoy the time saved and have a cup of tea!
Ya enjoy pulling 1000ft of 432 by hand.. good luck
i'm sure they can buy/install pre roded conduits
Dario Ampuy the conduits don't need to be rodded. They come with mule tape already blown in.
Or you use a blowing machine. Alot easier than using this conduit puller.

Nice of you to add moisture to ground.
I pull fiber with my 🙌 never failed me

Everytine you hear the word pull you got to take a shot
Faded....
where can i buy this equipment?
Are you still in the market for this equipment
Thanks
i want fiber optics in my area its like 2013 and i don't have fiber optics.
I live in the second largest city of Austria and still have 7Mbit/s over VDSL Long Range. We are nearly the last place in the EU in terms of FTTH connections.
Do you have fiber yet?
That is Nice
Why wouldn’t you blow in this case.
well done boys!
Its a lot of work you just dont know about
Lots of technology now in use, over here in nigeria, we do all these even more without a those fancy tools
man id love to have a job this easy and get paid 20+ dollar an hour
***** I worked in the industry for 13 years. Trust me you earn your money.
Nick 636n8r it ain’t easy rodding occupied conduit
You have good days and bad day took me 4 days to pull 3 72count fibers a little over a mile keep running into crushed pipe
As a fibertech.. Nothing easy about this job friend.

HOW TO PULLER A CABLE
It's kind of hard to pull it with only your hands.
and its easy that the Fiber cable might break.
There for. machine :D
It depends on the distance of the inner duct run and whether the interior of the duct is smooth or ribbed. And if someone remembered to bring the polywater or whatever pulling lubricant being used.

You have no idea what fiber optic cable is or what's inside it. lol let me tell you buddy it ain't glass...
Gixxer BestInEP but it is glass. Corning glass is the most popular.
@@TBinTHAfknBlock Huh?

Worst machine for pulling cable,,
That is Nice
