7 Key FAQs of Cable Pulling Tools (Expert FAQ)
Cable Pulling Tools Technical Terms: FAQ
- 1. What material is commonly used for high-end fish tapes?
-
Most premium fish tapes employ a composite structure, typically a steel core providing rigidity and resilience, enveloped by a smooth yet robust plastic jacket. This combination ensures flexibility to pass complex bends while delivering high tensile strength (Industry Source: Cabling Installation & Maintenance).
- 2. What loading capacity should installers look for in cable pulling winches?
-
For standard electrical and telecom projects, cable pulling winches should be rated between 2,000kg to 5,000kg depending on cable length and site topology. Premium winches offer automatic tension control for optimal safety and efficiency.
- 3. How does the diameter and length selection in fish tape influence pulling performance?
-
Larger diameters (e.g., 4mm) enhance pushing force in longer conduits, while shorter tapes (10M, 20M) are ideal for compact installations. Shijiazhuang Bilo’s Steel Core Plastic Jacket Wire Cable Puller/Fish Tape range covers all mainstream demands.
- 4. What installation standards should cable tray rollers comply with?
-
Compliant tray rollers should meet IEC 61537/UL 568 standards, ensuring corrosion resistance, adequate loading, and secure installation for both utility and data cabling.
- 5. What accessories increase the versatility of cable pulling tools?
-
Fasteners, cable socks (grips), fish tape heads, lubricants, and adaptable roller brackets dramatically improve tool utility and reliability in complex pulling jobs.
- 6. Can cable pulling socks support both single and multi-core cables?
-
Yes. Cable pulling socks are designed in various configurations (single eye, double eye, or offset) to grip and pull both single core and bundled cables securely with high tensile loading.
- 7. How are cable pulling rollers positioned to minimize cable damage?
-
Rollers must be positioned at directional changes, tray entry/exit points, and intervals below 3 meters to minimize cable sag, friction, and potential crush points according to industry best practices (NECA/NEIS Standards).
