Working principle of optical cable pulling
Blowing uses continuous airflow or water flow to suspend and push the cable forward through the duct. Pulling relies on mechanical traction applied via rope, winch, or pulling eye. Fiber optic cable is surprisingly strong, durable and pliable; however, several best practices should be followed to ensure a successful cable installation. While both techniques achieve the same goal—placing fiber cables inside ducts—their engineering mechanics, tension characteristics, duct preparation requirements, and environmental.
