THE F.I.G.
The Best-In-Class Handheld Cordless Air Blown Microfibre Installation Gun, For Fibre To The Home/Premises
Designed with the Drop Fibre installer in mind, the F.I.G. is a lightweight, battery-powered compact blowing gun that features an innovative and simple to use ‘no-crush’ fibre loading mechanism that prevents cable damage and wastage - in addition to saving the fibre installer valuable set up time. It is optimised to deploy reeled ballistic microfibre up to 2.0 mm diameter into 5 mm, 7 mm and 8 mm microducts over distances up to 2000 m.*
This ergonomic pistol-shaped installation gun has a unique anti-buckle feature to prevent fibre damage whilst blowing. It provides extremely efficient air delivery performance, allowing it to be used with a small air compressor producing ≥80 L./min. (2.8 CFM) at 10 bar.
Its ‘cruise control’ technology enables hands-free operation.
The LCD screen on the top of the F.I.G. displays speed, distance, pushing force and battery life.
​
Adjustable push control and interchangeable adaptor plates enable the F.I.G. to be quickly and easily adapted to operate on different microfibre sizes and microducts.
​
The F.I.G. is available with optional extra tripod and harness accessories for both overhead and underground applications.
