Abstract

The longitudinal pressure profile is an important parameter when calculating the correct blowing force during the process of installing optical fiber cables using the viscous flow of air. This paper presents a model of the pressure inside the duct that contains a moving cable. This new model of the pressure profile is used to calculate the blowing force and the force build-up in the cable more accurately. Therefore, the estimation accuracy and reliability of the maximum installation length of optical fibers is increased.
