Blowing Head Equipment & Accessories

Air Blown Fiber Blower Equipment

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s cable blowing head is used to blow the compact fiber optic bundles through the tube cable on a stream of air or nitrogen gas. Installation is completely stress-free, eliminating the damage that can occur when traditional fiber is pulled through the network.
