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.
