Liquid-free conveyance of fiber optic cable
Abstract:
A method of conveying a fiber optic cable through a conduit having an inside diameter involves connecting an interior pig assembly to a far end of the fiber optic cable, the interior pig assembly having an outside diameter smaller than the conduit inside diameter, and inserting the interior pig assembly into the conduit. To convey the fiber optic cable through the conduit, the interior pig assembly may be magnetic, and an exterior assembly including a magnet outside the conduit may be used to pull the interior pig assembly pig through the conduit. In addition or alternatively, a gas may be injected into the conduit to push the pig assembly through the conduit.
