What Is Fibre Blowing
Still the Most Effective Way to Get from A to B?
What is Fibre Blowing?
Fibre blowing, also known as jetting, is a highly efficient method of installing fibre optic cables. Using compressed air, the fibre is propelled through ducts with minimal friction. A mechanical feeder ensures a controlled forward force, while the air pressure carries the cable, even through tight bends and over long distances. This technique makes it easier to install fibre quickly and safely, reducing the risk of damage and stress on the cable.
Why use it?
Fibre blowing offers multiple advantages for installers and network operators:
- Accelerates installation across long routes
- Minimises mechanical stress and reduces the risk of damage
- Fewer splice points and interruptions in the network
- Reduces manpower requirements and time on-site
Where It Performs Best
This method is particularly effective in:
- New build developments
- Campus and enterprise networks
- Upgrade projects with clear duct routes
- Telecom and Altnet rollouts that demand scale and efficiency
The Right Tools for the Job
Using the right equipment is essential for safe, effective fibre blowing. Industry-standard solutions such as TriggAir, V2, and V3 ensure smooth, controlled installation with consistent results.
