The Most Efficient Solution for Fiber Optic Installation Projects
In fiber infrastructure projects, cable installation becomes a critical and sensitive task—especially when thousands of meters of fiber cable need to be deployed safely between two different ducts. When the right equipment is not used, installations may lead to excessive labor costs, time loss and, more importantly, physical damage to the cable.
At this point, the Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter stands out as the most advanced solution designed to manage the cable quickly, safely and with maximum efficiency.
What Is the Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter?
The Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter is a cable management machine that automatically collects the remaining cable from the drum after the first duct installation, preparing it for deployment into the second duct.
This system prevents the cable from being exposed to pedestrian traffic, vehicles, mud, dust, uneven ground and other external risks, ensuring perfect cable integrity and operational safety during installation.
Advantages of Using a Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter
By replacing manual cable handling, the Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter provides significant operational advantages:
✔ Eliminates cable bending, friction and physical damage
✔ Protects the cable from dust, moisture and contamination
✔ Reduces installation time and labor costs dramatically
✔ Increases deployment speed with maximum operator safety
✔ Can be operated even by a single technician in the field

For these reasons, the Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter has become indispensable in large-scale fiber deployment operations.
Technical Capacity
The Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter can store 3,000 meters of 13 mm cable, enabling the use of 6,000-meter drum lengths without any difficulty.

How Does the Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter Work?
The operating procedure includes four simple and effective steps:
CABLE-FLEETER 2024
1️⃣ First, 1 km of fiber cable is deployed inside the first duct
2️⃣ The remaining cable on the drum is transferred into the Cable Fleeter
3️⃣ The cable stored inside the Fleeter is then deployed into the second duct
4️⃣ As a result, a total of 2 km of cable is successfully installed between both ducts
This method increases deployment speed while completely eliminating the risk of cable damage.
Why Do Professional Installers Prefer the Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter?
Modern fiber infrastructure requires speed, safety, durability and uninterrupted connectivity. The Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter responds to all of these needs simultaneously.
It becomes essential especially in:
✔ Long-distance fiber deployments
✔ Projects requiring cable deployment across two ducts
✔ High-precision and sensitive fiber networks
✔ Crowded or challenging field conditions
By using the Fiber Optic Cable Fleeter, both the cable's physical structure and the investment value of the infrastructure are preserved.

Technical documentation
Cable Fleeter: intermediate storage between blowing stages
The Cable Fleeter catalogue describes a trailer-mounted system that replaces manual figure-eight handling. After the first leg of a duct route has been installed, the remaining cable is transferred from the drum into the fleeter, leaving the cable end available for the second leg. The described assembly consists of a trailer chassis, storage cassette, rotating cable guide quadrant and duct clamp assembly.
The catalogue gives an example of storing 3000 m of 13 mm cable for use with 6000 m drum lengths. Its illustrated workflow on physical page 5 shows a separate example in which a 2 km cable is installed across two duct legs. These are catalogue examples, not a promise that the same distance will be achieved for every cable and route.
