Fiber Optic Microcable Blowing Compound – Installation Optimization

S LUB 10 is a specialized lubricant designed for the effective installation of mini and micro fiber optic cables using blowing machines. Its unique formula, based on water and with low viscosity, significantly reduces friction between the cable and the duct during the blowing process. This translates to easier work, time savings, and reduced risk of damage to delicate optical fibers.

Properties and application

The S LUB 10 compound creates a very thin, lubricating layer on the surface of the cable and duct, which minimizes adhesion and prevents the cable from sticking inside the pipeline. This ensures a smooth blowing process, even over long distances. This is particularly important for installations in difficult terrain or in existing infrastructure. The compound is compatible with both blowing machines equipped with dispensers and with the method of direct cable lubrication before or behind the drive wheel.

• Friction reduction: High slip parameters significantly reduce resistance during cable blowing.
• Preventing adhesion: A thin lubricating layer eliminates the risk of the cable sticking to the duct, facilitating future service or replacement work.
• Versatility: Can be used with different types of blowing machines and application methods.
• Ease of use: Simply place the compound in the microduct using a sponge and spread it evenly before starting the blowing process.
• Available packaging: Offered in practical 1 kg bottles and 5 kg canisters, allowing you to adjust the amount of compound to the needs of a specific project.

Construction and installation – tips for professionals

To achieve optimal results, it is recommended to place a few-centimeter sponge roller inside the microduct before applying the S LUB 10 compound. Before use, shake the bottle thoroughly, then introduce the appropriate amount of compound into the duct. Seal the end of the duct with another piece of sponge and start the blowing process to ensure even distribution of the compound over the entire surface of the microduct. Remember that the actual consumption of the compound may vary depending on the condition and length of the pipeline.
