Fiber Optic Cable Pulling Packages | Hydraulic Pullers
Fiber Optic Cable Pulling Packages — Product Overview
Fiber Optic Cable Pulling Packages are designed for controlled fiber optic cable installation using a hydraulic cable puller with variable-speed foot control. The Condux Fiber Optic Cable Puller uses load cell torque input for tension measurement, helping operators monitor pulling forces during installation.
Two puller configurations are available. The standard package (MPN 08690002) includes the fiber optic cable puller, foot control, and hoses. The ECB package (MPN 08690056) includes these components plus an Electronic Control Box for electronic tension control and monitoring.
Important: A complete operating setup also requires a compatible capstan, puller mount, and hydraulic power source. These components are purchased separately. Confirm the required equipment before ordering.
Key Features
- Load Cell Tension Measurement: Uses load cell torque input to measure cable pulling tension.
- Hydraulic Drive: Equipped with a hydraulic motor for fiber optic cable pulling applications.
- Variable-Speed Foot Control: Allows the operator to regulate the pulling speed.
- Adjustable Pulling Tension: Features a manually adjustable pressure relief valve.
- Electronic Control Option: The ECB package adds an Electronic Control Box for electronic tension control and monitoring.
- Package Components: Both configurations include the puller, foot control, and hoses.
- Multiple Capstan Configurations: Performance depends on the selected compatible capstan diameter, as shown in the performance table below.
Standard Equipment
- Hydraulic Motor: Provides hydraulic power for the pulling mechanism.
- Variable-Speed Foot Control: Enables operator control over pulling speed.
- Load Cell Torque Input: Supports cable pulling tension measurement.
- Manual Pressure Relief Valve: Allows adjustment of the maximum pulling tension.
Electronic Control Box Option
The 08690056 configuration includes an Electronic Control Box (ECB). Condux describes electronic tension control with adjustable digital load limits and a load cell tension measuring device with recording and display capabilities.
Note: The Electronic Control Box is included only with MPN 08690056. It is not included with the standard MPN 08690002 package.
Additional Equipment Required
Condux identifies the following components as necessary for a complete fiber optic cable pulling setup. These items are purchased separately:
- Compatible Capstan: Select according to the required pulling force and installation setup.
- Puller Mount: A suitable mount for the planned installation arrangement.
- Hydraulic Power Source: A compatible hydraulic power source meeting the manufacturer's recommendations.
Recommended Hydraulic Power Source: Condux specifies hydraulic flow up to 8 gpm (30 lpm), pressure up to 2,000 psi (138 bar), and peak power of 13 HP (9.7 kW).
Safety Information
Warning: The Fiber Optic Cable Puller must not be used as a hoist or for lifting, supporting, or transporting people or loads. Use the equipment only for its intended fiber optic cable pulling application and follow the manufacturer's operating instructions.
