Cable Blowing

Cable blowing in Dubai UAE is one of the most efficient methods for installing fiber optic cables inside ducts using compressed air. Also known as cable jetting or cable blowing, this process ensures a smooth and safe installation of optical fiber cables across long distances without causing damage. The Cable Blowing Machine is specially designed for use with HDPE ducts, not PVC ducts, as HDPE provides the flexibility and pressure resistance required for precise installation.

 

If you are looking for the cable blowing machine price in Dubai UAE, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, or any other country in the Middle East and Africa, our team can recommend the most suitable fiber cable blowing machine price based on your application, duct size, and project budget. At Empirical Technical Solutions, we ensure that our solutions for cable blowing in Dubai UAE meet the highest performance standards in the industry.

 

Selecting the correct air compressor for your Cable Blowing Machine is also critical. The compressor type and capacity depend on the duct size, cable type, and the model of the machine. We not only supply reliable machines but also offer training and technical support for smooth, trouble-free operation.

 

Before starting any cable blowing process, it is essential to verify duct readiness. Conducting duct integrity and air pressure testing helps confirm that the duct pathway is clean, continuous, and suitable for blowing. This step maximizes blowing distance, minimizes friction, and ensures a stable and long-lasting fiber optic network — especially for large-scale cable blowing in Dubai UAE and similar projects across the region.

 

Before cable blowing it is advisable to conduct the duct integrity testing to ensure that the condition of the duct is suitable for Cable blowing.

 

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

A cable blowing machine (also called a fiber blowing machine or jetting machine) is used to install fiber optic cables into ducts or microducts using compressed air. It safely pushes the cable over long distances without pulling or damaging it — making it the fastest and safest way to lay fiber.

Because manual pulling can damage fiber and reduce performance. A blowing machine allows you to:
  • Install cable faster (hundreds of meters per minute)
  • Avoid fiber strain or breakage
  • Reduce manpower and project cost
  • Achieve longer installation distances
It’s essential for FTTx, backbone, and telecom projects.

The machine uses compressed air to create airflow inside the duct while the drive wheels push the cable forward. This combination of mechanical push + air assist makes the fiber float smoothly through the duct with minimal friction.

Cable blowing machines can handle:
  • Micro cables for FTTx
  • Standard fiber optic cables (4mm to 25mm)
  • Mini and microduct cables
  • Different models are available for different cable and duct diameters.

  • Micro cable blowers:Compact units for microducts (used in FTTx and urban networks).
  • Standard cable blowersHeavy-duty models for long-distance backbone and trunk routes
If you’re unsure which suits your project, we’ll guide you based on your cable type and distance.

Yes. The cable blowing machine requires compressed air to operate. We can recommend compatible air compressors and accessories based on the type of machine and duct size.

It depends on cable type, duct quality, and airflow — but typically:
  • Micro cable blowers:Up to 1.5–2 km.
  • Standard cable blowersUp to 3–5 km in one shot
Proper setup and lubrication can extend this distance.

Yes, most modern machines come with interchangeable belts or guides, allowing them to handle a range of cable and duct sizes — ideal for multi-project contractors.

It’s simple. With a short demonstration, your team can master setup and operation in a few hours. We also provide training and onsite demos for new users.

Some OTDRs have special wavelengths (like 1625 nm) for live testing without You’ll need:
  • Air compressor (diesel or electric)
  • Lubricant for smooth cable movement
  • Duct sealing plugs and connectors
  • Cable drum stand
  • Empirical Testing Solutions can supply the full setup as a package.

  • Ensure all ducts are clean and free from debris
  • Never exceed the recommended pressure
  • Keep hands clear of drive rollers while operating
  • Always wear eye protection and gloves

They’re used across:
  • Telecom & FTTx deployments
  • Utility and smart grid networks
  • Transportation (rail, airports, tunnels)
  • Defense and oil & gas communication systems

  • Clean the unit after each use
  • Lubricate moving parts
  • Check and replace seals periodically
  • Store in a dry, dust-free place
Regular maintenance ensures smooth performance and long life.

Yes. All cable blowing machines sold by Empirical Testing Solutions include:
  • Manufacturer warranty (usually 1–2 years)
  • Local support and spare parts
  • Training and technical assistance across the Gulf region

Choosing depends on:
  • Cable diameter
  • Duct size and distance
  • Air compressor availability
  • Type of network (FTTx or backbone)
Our team will recommend the best model to fit your project scope, speed, and budget.
