A new method for installing fiber optic cables in ducts is currently being used utilizing high speed air flow coupled with a low strain pushing force. Developed in Europe, this method has recently undergone testing and trials in the United States using different sized cables and ducts in varied environments. Erratic duct geometries have little influence over this method, and multiple units may be installed in cascade allowing for intallation lengths limited only by cable reel lengths.

This paper describes an efficient and economical method for dropping optical fiber to residential premises in which several fiber ribbons in a distribution cable are assigned to one drop point. The cables for dropping can then be aerially installed between several poles from this point during initial construction. One or two fibers are then dropped to a subscriber when demand arises. When pipe stranded cable, dropping pipe wire and fiber blowing are used for dropping, the method mentioned above can be employed without the need for a fiber joint in the dropping portion. The inner diameters of the pipes in the pipe stranded cable and the dropping pipe wire are investigated theoretically and experimentally, and the optimum values are obtained. Based on the results, the pipe stranded cable and dropping pipe wire are manufactured and their transmission and mechanical characteristics are confirmed to be stable.
