Among the tools showcased at the GMP exhibit were the "Breeze" micro fiber cable blowing machine. The "Breeze" micro fiber cable blowing machine is designed to meet the need for micro fiber cable installation. It will move micro fiber cable of 0.1 to 0.315 in. (2.5 to 8.0 mm) diameter at speeds to 164 ft. (50 m) per minute into pre-installed micro duct. The Breeze is compatible with micro duct O.D. from 0.197 to 0.472 in. (5.0 to 12.0 mm).

Also featured was the "Tornado" cable blowing machine is designed to move fiber optic cable of 0.23 to 1.25 in. (5.84-32 mm) diameter at speeds to 300 ft./min. (90 m/min.) into pre-installed innerduct or direct-buried duct safely, even on tough terrain. It can accommodate innerduct from 1 to 2.48 in. (25-63 mm). A conversion kit allows the Tornado to place either 12/10 mm or 10/8 mm micro duct into the innerduct.

GMP's new Duct Rodders also generated interest at the show. Made from fiberglass strands impregnated with a highly resilient, thermosetting resin, GMP Duct Rodders incorporate proprietary strengthening agents that provide high quality Rodder at an economical price. Continuous Duct Rodders are used to pull or push lines or cables through ducts, tubes or conduits. They are available in three nominal sizes, 1/4 in. (6 mm), 3/8 in. (10 mm) and 1/2 in. (13 mm).
