Designed to be safe, fast and effective, the Tornado Cable Blowing Machine installs fiber optic cable into pre-installed innerduct or direct buried innerduct. Expanded capacity now allows for large (1.34”/34mm), high density or high fiber count (1728/3456) cables. A conversion kit allows the Tornado to place either 12.7, 12/10mm or 10/8mm micro ducts into innerduct as well. Comprised of an aluminum air box and cable pusher, the Tornado uses compressed air to install the cable with or without a missile. In operation, the hydraulically powered, belt drive system controls the fiber optic cable as it is propelled by compressed air through the innerduct. An electronic monitoring system provides read-outs of speed and distance, helps protect cable against damage, and includes an emergency stop button.
