Cable blowing is the process of installation of optical fiber cable into a pre-installed duct. Several hundred meters of cable are pushed into the duct. Placing optical fiber cables in duct systems using air-assisted installation techniques presents different installation requirements than traditional pulling. While both techniques achieve the same goal—placing fiber cables inside ducts—their engineering mechanics, tension characteristics, duct preparation requirements, and environmental. Founded in 1932, ACOME is a leading industrial cooperative group, headquartered in Paris (France), specialising in the design, manufacture and marketing of high-tech cables, microducts and connectivity equipment for telecom, data and automotive networks.
