Fiber Blowing Installation
Fiber blowing machines for precision cable placement through microduct and standard conduit systems—using controlled air pressure and mechanical feed to install fiber optic cable over distances that traditional pulling methods cannot achieve. Galloway stocks fiber blowing equipment from Plumett (Plumettaz S.A.) and Condux International at regional locations across the US.
