For those of you who foolishly attempt to install
connectorized fiber optic cable because you did not
have time to go to a BDI DataLynk training class to
learn to do it yourself, this stuff works OK.  The
"Chinese finger" concept expands to 2 inches and
contracts down to 1/2".  You will be better off installing
the connectors AFTER the installation, however.

Cable Pulling Lube
Cable Pulling Lubricant

Techlube FO (fiber optic) pulling lubricant is a high
performance, pourable liquid polymer that was engineered
to meet the special requirements of pulling innerduct,
communications, coaxial and fiber optic cables. Techlube
has superior friction reduction capabilities that make it an
excellent choice for long distance and/or difficult placing
applications.

Techlube dries slowly, leaving a thin film that will not
"cement" the cable to the conduit. Techlube also facilitates
in removal or adjustment of the cable.

BREAK-AWAY SWIVEL 5/8" 600 LBS.   
This 5/8" Break-Away Swivels provide an inexpensive fracture point between a pulling line & fiber optic cable to protect
against costly cable damage if the cable's pulling capacity is exceeded.  Available in a 5/8" x 3 3/4" body that is made of
steel with a zinc plating finish for wear resistance. Its compact design makes it the perfect choice when pulling cable in 1"
innerduct.  Each unit comes with a replaceable color-coded tension bolt (yellow-600 lbs.). The swivel & bolt are
color-coded for identification.

The bolt will separate when the pulling load reaches +/-5% of the bolt rating. It can then be replaced using an Allen
Wrench (included) & screwdriver
Note: We strongly suggest ordering additional replacement bolts with swivels to avoid delays in work if the
bolt supplied with the unit breaks
