What Is Cable Jetting?
Cable jetting is a fun, effective, fast way to get any cable into place. It sometimes requires some muscle, but the results are well worth it. Cable jetting makes it easy to quickly install data and voice cables in new buildings or retrofit them into existing conditions. The process works excellently with fiber optics when running cables through ducts or conduits. It is the method of using compressed air to blow or push cables or hoses through a chimney or pipe. Cable jetting is a quick, flexible and cost-efficient method of moving cables into place, saving time, money and stress for you and your end-users. Cable jetting is often preferred over cable pulling because it offers less risk of damage to the pipe, less downtime, and is easier to execute. Cable jetting also provides convenience as it is often an automated process that can be scheduled remotely. The method of cable jetting involves pushing a cleaning solution through the pipe, collecting the debris, and then repeating the process until the tube is clean. The cleaning solution often includes acids or other chemicals that break down the pipe's material to make it easier to remove. After the line is clean, it must be treated to prevent corrosion and ensure it is ready for use. A suitable lubricant will ensure the cable can glide smoothly through the pipe, reducing friction and increasing efficiency. Choosing a suitable cable is essential, too, as some cables are better suited to cable pulling than others. Can use most cables for cable pulling, but some are better than others, and some require pre-drilling before we can use them. Additionally, manufacturers often produce different designs, so choosing a suitable cable is essential. The correct cable will often have a larger diameter, reducing friction and making cable pulling easier. Cable lubricants are often the easiest option, as cables usually have a hole in one end, allowing for the easy application of lubricant. In some cases, manufacturers produce cables with pre-applied lubricant, making things even more accessible. It's high time you added cable jetting to your skillset. It's a vital cable placement technique that's been around since the Industrial Revolution. How are you supposed to complete jobs without it?
