Blown Fibre Unit Printer Friendly Version

The Blown Fibre Machine has been developed to complement the existing range of fibre cable blowing equipment available from CBS Products Ltd. The Blown Fibre Machine is designed to fit the smaller end of fibre range from 2 to 12 fibres (1 to 2mm diameter), thereby providing the complete range of fibre blowing installation systems from one company. A compact integrated fibre-blowing machine. The machine benefits from full automation and fibre management – sophisticated fibre protection is implemented to ensure the fibre mechanical and optical integrity is maintained. The machine is self contained and only requires a single electrical supply and compressed air to operate.

What is fibre blowing?
Fibre blowing is a technique pioneered by British Telecom for blowing small bundles of fibres into small tubes that can be placed around a building. Fibres can be easily blown into the tubes. Since these fibres can at any time be quickly blown out of the tubes if required, upgrading is easy. For example, an unknown multimode fiber is simple to upgrade an OM3 multimode or an OS1 single-mode fibre. This flexibility and opportunity for easy upgrading has made blown fibre installation the method of choice for many buildings. Blown fibre is also attractive for fibre-to-the-home, or FTTH, projects where the tube can be installed and allow easy fibre installation with minimal disruption at a later date.

Fibre Blowing Table
This provides a stable platform to carry out the blowing operation. The table comes complete with tube and fibre guides leaving the operator to concentrate on the installation. The on/off valve enables point of use control over the air supply to the Accelair while an air regulator allows the operator to vary the air pressure supplied.

Air Stop End Kit
This device blocks the far end of the tube while allowing air to escape, this in turn enables the Accelair to detect when the fibre has reached the end of its installation

Air Flowmeter
Attached to the end of the tube, this indicates the airflow exiting the installation route giving an indication of tube integrity and complexity. As a general rule if you get 16-18 l/min or more of air exiting the tube the Accelair will install the fibre.
