Efficient Cable Installation

June 21, 2018
General Machine Products' cable blower offers digital read-outs of speed and distance.

Gentle Air Micro Fiber Cable Blower (P/N 89916) was engineered to install micro fiber cable into pre-installed 4 to 7 mm (.15 to .27 in.) diameter microduct. The blower will place 1.0 to 3.0 mm (.03 to .11 in.) diameter cable at speeds up to 90 m/min (300 ft/min) per minute. This, along with its low maintenance and high durability makes the Gentle Air an excellent value.

 

Powered by a conventional, cordless drill (not included), a drive roller with precision clutch introduces the micro fiber cable into the microduct’s opening. The clutch feature enables the operator to select a custom torque range (zero to infinity). From there, compressed air propels the cable throughout the length of the microduct to its destination. Ideal for smaller jobs where traditional, larger blowing machines are unsuitable, the Gentle Air’s versatility, compact size and portable maneuverability make it perfectly suited for both interior and exterior fiber cable placement applications.
