T200D
What types of fiber optic cables is the T200D suitable for?
The T200D is designed for micro fiber optic cables with diameters between 1–3mm, including EPFU indoor cables, micro cables, and patch cords. It is ideal for FTTH, indoor wiring, and data center applications.
Does the T200D come with an air compressor?
Yes, the system includes a compatible electric oil-free air compressor with a flow rate of 0.5–0.7 m³/min and pressure of 8–12 bar, designed for quiet and efficient operation.
What is the maximum blowing distance?
The T200D can blow fiber optic cables up to 500 meters in a single run, with a recommended speed of 40–60 m/min for optimal performance.
Is training required to operate the T200D?
The machine is user-friendly with intuitive controls, but we recommend basic training for optimal setup and safety, especially regarding cable loading and pressure settings.
Can the T200D be used outdoors?
Yes, it operates in temperatures from -20°C to +40°C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in various weather conditions.
T500W
What types of micro-cables is the T500W compatible with?
The T500W supports micro-cables with outer diameters from 3 mm to 10 mm, including loose tube, tight-buffered, and non-armored fiber optic cables commonly used in telecommunications and data networks.
What is the maximum blowing distance in one pass?
While distance depends on duct conditions and cable type, the T500W is designed for long-distance blowing and can typically achieve several hundred meters in a single run with appropriate lubrication and air pressure.
Is special training required to operate this machine?
Basic online training or on-sitetraining(pay training cost)is provided by TFN to ensure safe and efficient operation. The machine is designed with user-friendly controls, making it easy to learn for technicians familiar with cable installation.
How do I maintain the T500W for optimal performance?
Regular lubrication through the designated oil port, cleaning of air filters, and inspection of seals and belts are recommended. The machine comes with a maintenance guide and spare parts for easy upkeep.
Can the T500W be used for 5G network deployments?
Yes, the T500W is ideal for 5G fiber backbone installations, micro-duct blowing in dense urban areas, and last-mile connectivity projects due to its precision, speed, and compatibility with modern micro-cables.
T700CQ
What types of cables can the T700CQ blow?
The T700CQ is designed for optical cables with diameters between 6 mm and 14 mm, including GYTA, GCYFY, JET OUFU micro cables, and up to three 10/8 mm HDPE micro tubes simultaneously.
What air compressor is recommended for T700CQ?
We recommend a diesel-powered screw air compressor with an output of 10–15 m³/min and pressure of 12–15 bar. This ensures optimal performance and continuous operation in field conditions.
What is the maximum cable blowing distance?
Under normal conditions, the T700CQ can blow cables between 600 to 2000 meters, depending on terrain, cable weight, duct quality, and operating speed (60–80 m/min is recommended).
Is training required to operate the T700CQ?
While the machine is user-friendly, we recommend basic training for optimal setup, speed adjustment, seal replacement, and maintenance to ensure safety and efficiency.
How do I maintain the T700CQ?
Regular maintenance includes checking the conveyor belt, cleaning cable seals, lubricating the air motor with pneumatic oil, and inspecting air filters. Detailed guidelines are provided in the manual.
T700CY
What is the maximum distance I can blow a cable with the T700CY?
Under optimal conditions with standard HDPE silicone core pipe, the T700CY can achieve blowing distances of 600 to 2000 meters. The actual distance depends on several factors including terrain, cable diameter/weight, duct quality, and the number of bends in the pathway. We recommend a working speed of 60-80 m/min for best results.
Does this machine come with everything needed to start blowing cable?
Yes, the T700CY is sold as a complete standard kit including the main blowing unit, the mobile hydraulic power station, hydraulic oil, all necessary hoses (hydraulic and high-pressure air), a comprehensive set of seals, plugs, guide tools, and basic maintenance tools. You will need to separately provide a compatible air compressor (10-15 m³/min, 12-15 bar).
Can it handle both fiber optic and electrical power cables?
Absolutely. The T700CY is specifically designed for versatility. It is perfectly suitable for standard single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cables (like GYTA, GYTS) with diameters up to 22 mm, as well as for electrical cables like YJV and YJLV with equivalent cross-sections (e.g., 2x16 mm²).
How does the "cable protection" feature actually work?
Protection is achieved through a combination of features: 1) An adjustable conveyor belt that can be set to the optimal pressure for your specific cable diameter to avoid crushing. 2) A sealed blowing chamber that uses compressed air to "float" the cable inside the duct, drastically reducing friction. 3) Smooth, guided entry points (guide groove, cable plug) that prevent snagging or bending at critical points.
What kind of maintenance does the hydraulic system require?
Maintenance is straightforward. It primarily involves checking and maintaining the proper level of clean 46 anti-wear hydraulic oil in the power unit's reservoir, inspecting hydraulic hoses for wear before each use, and ensuring quick-connect couplers are clean. The system is designed for durability, and common spare parts like seals and O-rings are included in the standard kit.
