CONDUX - Fiber Optic Cable Puller 

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.

Faded....

Are you still in the market for this equipment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

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.
