Fiber Blowing

Advanced Fiber Optic Installation

Fiber blowing is a specialized technique for installing fiber optic cables through underground conduit systems. Helmick Underground utilizes state-of-the-art fiber blowing equipment to install fiber optic cables quickly, safely, and with minimal stress on the delicate fiber strands. This method is ideal for long conduit runs and complex telecommunications installations.

How Fiber Blowing Works

Using compressed air and mechanical assistance, fiber blowing equipment propels fiber optic cable through conduit with minimal friction and tension. This gentle installation method protects the fiber from damage and allows for longer installation distances compared to traditional pulling methods. The result is reliable, high-performance fiber optic networks ready for decades of service.
