The air compressor for fiber optics blower is an excellent piece of equipment for businesses involved in fiber optic installation and tube bundles.
Optic cable blowing is the process of inserting an optical fiber cable into a duct by combining a mechanical pushing force and a high-speed air flow into micro ducts, pipes and tube packages.
The compressor used for fiber optic cable blowing generates high and stable compressed air pressure, which allows the cable inside the duct to remain floating. This process reduces friction between the outer cable surface and inner duct wall. It also allows air pressure to be pushed through long distances and complicated pipe routes using a blower.
The role of the compressor is therefore critical in the efficient and reliable installation of fiber optic cables. It allows quick and easy blowing while reducing the cost and time required. However, to be able to use the compressor to its full potential, it is necessary to choose the right model to match the blower.
It is vital to select the appropriate model to complement the blower. One must ensure that the compressor is correctly sized for the project and can deliver 10 to 14 bar air pressure. The compressed air will then be cooled close to ambient temperature with aftercooler option.
ELGi’s portable air compressors play a vital role in cable blowing by providing reliable support to our customers.
