The DrillFOK cable blowing machine is a compact micro-cable installation solution designed for FTTH, in-building, and short-distance fiber deployment. 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.

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.
