Tough Ducts The versatile Performa cable Jet blowing machine / fiber jetting machine – the intelligent solution for blowing fiber cable in difficult ducts. In this post, you’ll learn how they work, how to use them to their full potential and avoid common mistakes. No technical jargon. Just straight talk.

What Does a Fiber Jetting Machine Do?

A fiber blowing machine blows fiber cable into microducts by air. It makes it a whole lot easier to run cable without causing damage, even long distances.

Fiber cable work is hard for lots of folks. Yet with an appropriate machine and setup, it’s much simpler than you might think.

First Time Using the Machine?

No worries. Follow these steps:

Prepare: Inspect your fiber cable, duct, and air compressor.

Set It Up Right: The machine should be placed on a sturdy, level surface.

Cable Load: Neatly coil the cable into the jetting head.

Adjust the Pressure: Too much force will damage the cable. Follow the machine guide.

Begin Slowly: First, run the machine at lower speed. Watch the cable move.

Watching It: You will want to keep an all time check on the machine as well as the cable.

Top 3 Mistakes to Avoid

Push Rather Than Jet: You do know these are blowing machines not jetting machines.

No Air Cleaner: Insure that air is dry and clean. Moisture can rot the cable out.

Poor Ducts: If you used cheap ducts, it can twist and block off cable.

Tips for a Better Job

• Insinuate lube into the duct.

• Always make sure your air is dry.

• Confirm the cable is being loaded the correct direction.

• Don’t yank cable off the reel — tangles lead to trouble.
