Home / Can optical fiber cables be pulled using a winch
At its heart, a cable pulling winch is a specialised machine built for one crucial job: installing heavy electrical and fibre optic cables through ducts, pipes, or trenches. Hydraulic drives offer infinitely variable speed control, which is a critical benefit of using a hydraulic winch for cable pulling, as it allows for smooth starts and stops, preventing sudden kinetic shocks to the cable core. a tensiometeris incorporated into the conventional winch to limit the pulling torque of the winch to an amount below the tensional strength of the fiber optic cable. They supply the steady, controlled power needed to pull these cables over long distances safely and without damage. Working with client NGE, Thorne & Derrick have supplied a custom engineered Telecoms Cable Winch for the pulling and installation of fibre optic cables to the Liverpool Backhaul project – the cable winch will support the high-speed fiber infrastructure project which will connect all 6 local. Fiber optic cable is surprisingly strong, durable and pliable; however, several best practices should be followed to ensure a successful cable installation.
