Simplifying Fibre Installation with Pre-Terminated Air Blown Fibre
Fibre installation efficiency is not only about how quickly cable can be installed. The work required once the fibre reaches its destination also matters. Telenco Air Blown Fibre Assembly combines a compact 1.2mm smooth-sheath fibre unit with pre-terminated connectivity, providing installers with a practical solution for blowing fibre through suitable duct infrastructure and completing the connection at the end of the route.
Reduce the Work Required at the End of the Fibre Route
Blown fibre gives network installers the ability to deploy fibre through suitable duct infrastructure without relying on traditional cable pulling methods. But getting the fibre through the route is only one part of completing the connection.
Field connectorisation can introduce additional installation stages, tooling and engineer time. Using a pre-terminated air blown fibre assembly provides a different approach: the fibre unit and connectivity are prepared as part of the assembly, reducing the amount of termination work required on site.
For network rollouts involving repeated customer connections or defined point-to-point routes, this can help create a more repeatable installation process from fibre deployment through to final connection.

UG 1F SM Pre-Terminated 1.2mm LC/APC – LC/APC Ferrule
The Telenco Air Blown Fibre Assembly provides a compact single-fibre solution for blown fibre deployment. Its smooth HDPE outer sheath and nominal 1.2mm diameter create a small, lightweight fibre unit suited to installation using compatible fibre-blowing equipment.
The assembly is pre-terminated, helping installers move from fibre deployment to final connection with less connectorisation work required at the installation location.
Why Pre-Terminated Air Blown Fibre?
Combining a compact blown fibre unit with factory-prepared connectivity can help simplify several stages of fibre deployment.
Less On-Site Connectorisation
Pre-terminated connectivity reduces the amount of connector preparation required once the fibre has been installed.
Compact Fibre Construction
The nominal 1.2mm smooth-sheath construction provides a compact fibre unit for installation through compatible duct infrastructure.
Consistent Connectivity
Factory-prepared connectivity provides a controlled approach to the connectorised element of the fibre assembly.
Route Flexibility
Multiple cable lengths allow the assembly to be selected around different network routes and connection distances.
Single Mode Fibre
Designed for single mode optical fibre infrastructure where a compact point-to-point fibre connection is required.
Installation Efficiency
Combining blown installation with pre-terminated connectivity helps reduce the number of separate processes required to complete the fibre route.
Select the Assembly Around the Route
Telenco pre-connectorised smooth-sheath ABF is available in standard 50-metre increments up to 400 metres, with other cable lengths available on request. This allows installers to select an assembly around the required route rather than treating every deployment as the same installation.
Pair the Fibre with the Right Blowing Equipment
A compact fibre assembly is only one part of the installation system. Reliable deployment also depends on having fibre-blowing equipment capable of providing controlled installation through the duct route.
The CBS Storm C-1850 Handheld Fibre Blower provides a portable solution for microfibre installation and is compatible with fibre up to 3mm in diameter, making it a complementary tool for installing the 1.2mm Telenco Air Blown Fibre Assembly.
Its handheld format is designed to make fibre blowing more manageable in the field, particularly where installers need equipment that can be easily transported between deployment locations.
CBS Storm Handheld Fibre Blower
Portable, controlled fibre blowing for field installation
The CBS Storm C-1850 is a compact handheld fibre-blowing machine designed for microfibre installation. An integrated duct clamp and seal system supports 5mm, 7mm and 8mm tubes, while the machine can accommodate fibre up to 3mm in diameter.
User-adjustable torque and speed limits provide control during installation, while cruise-controlled speed supports smooth, hands-free operation.
Think About the Fibre and Installation Tool as One Process
Efficient blown fibre deployment depends on more than selecting the fibre alone. The fibre unit, duct route, installation equipment and final connectivity all need to work together.
Combining Telenco pre-terminated Air Blown Fibre with suitable blowing equipment such as the CBS Storm gives installers a practical approach to both stages of the job: getting the fibre through the route and preparing the connection for service.
For larger rollouts, standardising both the fibre assembly and the installation method can also help create a more consistent process across multiple deployment locations.
