DRILLFOK Cable Blowing Machine​

The DrillFOK cable blowing machine is a compact micro-cable installation solution designed for FTTH, in-building, and short-distance fiber deployment with a cable range of 1-8mm. Instead of an internal motor, DrillFOK is powered by a standard cordless drill, providing a lightweight and highly portable installation system.

The machine enables fast installation of micro fiber cables into microducts using compressed air and a drill-driven feeding mechanism. Its compact structure makes it ideal for field technicians working in confined environments.

Installation Performance

DrillFOK is designed for controlled installation of micro fiber cables in microduct infrastructure. Installation distance and speed depend on cable type, duct condition, lubrication, and drill torque. Under typical microduct installation conditions, the machine can install cables up to 1000 meters.

• Maximum installation distance: up to 1000 m
• Maximum installation speed: up to 110 m/min (depending on drill torque)
• Recommended compressor capacity: 12 bar – 1 m³/min
• External drill provides adjustable feeding force

Working Principle

The DrillFOK uses compressed air to reduce friction inside the duct while the drill-powered drive roller feeds the cable into the microduct. This combined pushing and blowing method allows safe and controlled installation of micro fiber cables without excessive mechanical stress.
