The
AccelAir Blown Fiber Machine is
the latest complement to the range of fiber optic blowing equipment
available from GMP. Designed to suit the smaller end of fiber range
from 2 to 12 fibers
(1 to 2mm dia.),
AccelAir completes the range
of Tornado
and Breeze fiber blowing installation systems all from one company.
A compact integrated fiber-blowing
machine, the AccelAir benefits from full automation and fiber management.
Its sophisticated fiber protection is designed to ensure that the blown
fiber's mechanical and optical integrity is maintained. The machine
is self-contained
and only requires a single electrical supply and compressed air to operate,
both of which come from the AccelAir Compressor.

Fiber blowing is a technique pioneered by British Telecom for blowing small bundles of fibers into small tubes that can be placed around a building. Fibers can be easily blown into the tubes. Since these fibers can at any time be quickly blown out of the tubes if required, upgrading is easy. For example, an unknown multimode fiber is simple to upgrade an OM3 multimode or an OS1 single-mode fiber. This flexibility and opportunity for easy upgrading has made blown fiber installation the method of choice for many buildings. Blown fiber is also attractive for fiber-to-the-home, or FTTH, projects where the tube can be installed and allow easy fiber installation with minimal disruption at a later date.

UL listed electric motor with thermal overload protection with on and
off switch and a 6 (1.8 m) foot power cord.
•
The heavy-duty single stage piston, cast iron compressor pump delivers
5.1 CFM @ 150 psi and is protected by a pressure relief safety valve.
•
Filtration to .003 ppm particulate and oil removal ensures an air source
free from contaminates
•
Dew Point: 33.6deg F @145PSI
•
Compressor is mounted on two 15 gallon storage tanks with convenient
lifting handles, pneumatic tires and anti-vibration feet.
• Air supply hose: 25.3 ft (7.2m)
• Dimensions:
44 x 23 x 30 in ( 1120 x 580 x 760 mm) L x W x H
