About the product
Cable floating is the process of blowing a cable through a duct while simultaneously pushing the cable into the duct.
Compressed air is injected at the duct inlet and flows through the duct and along the cable at high speed. The high speed air propels the cable due to drag forces and pressure drop.
Advantages of blowing compared to pulling:
- Longer installation distances can be reached
- Installation distance less dependent on bends and undulations in duct
- Forces exerted on the cable are lower
- Easier use blowing in tandem operation
- The step of installing a winch rope is avoided
- Equipment is needed only at one end of the duct route
