ABOUT US
In 1990 engineers working at British Telecom in the UK and KPN in the Netherlands invented the concept of carrying
ber optic cable through a subduct using pushing force and a large volume of high pressure air where cable enters the
duct. The physics surrounding the equipment and methodology of what came to be known as cable blowing or jetting
is based on theories of viscous drag. Working closely with the engineers at BT, CBS Products Ltd. in the UK created the
Tornado cable blower, which has become widely recognized as a workhorse with a reputation for durability in the eld.
CBS was at the forefront of the development of the equipment which became the standard at BT and many other telecom
operators in many countries, including Africa, Asia and Europe.
In 2000, GMP became the North American distributor for CBS Products and introduced the Tornado and the microcable
blower Breeze in the US and Canada. The immediate success of these cable blowers added to GMPs broad cable
placing product line. In 2004 GMP purchased CBS Products Ltd.
In the ensuing decade, the GMP cable blowing product line has grown to include 6 different machines, and a full line of
accessories and tools to cover every cable blowing application. Our engineering, design support, quality and manufactur-
ing capabilities are best in class.
Since 1936, GMP has been providing the tools of the trade for utility construction, made in the USA and built to go the
distance.

TORNADO CABLE BLOWING MACHINE
Designed to be safe, fast and effective, the Tornado Cable Blowing Machine installs ber
optic cable into pre-installed innerduct or direct buried innerduct. A conversion kit allows
the Tornado to place either 12/10 mm or 10/8 mm micro ducts into innerduct as well.
Comprised of an aluminum air box and cable pusher, the Tornado uses compressed air
to install the cable with or without a missile. In operation, the hydraulically powered, belt
drive system controls the ber optic cable as it is propelled by compressed air through
the innerduct. An electronic monitoring system provides read-outs of speed and distance,
helps protect cable against damage, and includes an emergency stop button.
The air box and cable pusher are mounted on a lightweight, tubular-steel frame that
can be tilted at a 30-degree angle to the manhole, which signicantly minimizes any
bending of the innerduct and cable. The frame has retractable handles to permit ease
of maneuverability, and adjustable rear legs that provide added stability on uneven
terrain. This unit comes complete with a gasoline engine powered hydraulic power pack.

and air-drying in the ideal combination to take full advantage of the viscous drag effect for maximum ber blowing length.

Polywater Prelube 5000 for Small Diameter Fiber
Polywater Prelube 5000 reduces frictional drag during the blowing of small diameter ber optic
microcable into microtube duct. It increases the length of cable that can be blown in a single shot. Pre-
lube 5000 is more concentrated, yet less viscous, than Prelube 2000 (for blowing conventional ber
cables). The improved chemistry allows this product to spread further and reduce friction at extremely low
coating levels. The lower viscosity allows practical application into the microtubes.
Easy to use. It can be squeezed into the small diameter microducts.
Works at extremely low coating levels. It coats further and more effectively than conventional blowing
lubricants.
Has proven superior in side-by-side testing in blown microcable installations.
Is compatible with known microcable plastic jackets. However, it should not be used for resin-coated
ber cables.

These Single Size Junction Boxes are comprised of an aluminum base and lid that form a
pressurized air chamber into which one end of an existing occupied innerduct can be at-
tached. The existing cable can exit the box through an opening that has 3 cable seal slots,
one of which will house the seal to suit the size of the existing cable. The third branch is
then connected to a GMP Cable Blowing Machine via a short slave length of innerduct for
the installation of the extra cable or tube(s). A collection of seals ranging from 9 - 20 mm are
included with each junction box.

Following installation of the cable in the rst leg of the duct route the
balance of the cable is removed from the drum and fed into the Fleeter,
thereby releasing the cable end ready for blowing into the second leg.
The Fleeter provides a smooth and simple system while ensuring cable
protection from pedestrians or vehicles and prevents contamination from
mud, soil or dust.
The Fleeter is designed to work in conjunction with the Cable
Blowing Machine, which provides the cable feed in and out of
the Fleeter.
The Fleeter consists of a road going trailer chassis on which is
mounted a cable storage cassette, rotating cable guide quadrant and
duct clamp assembly.

Cable Pulling Harnesses
This convenient product will allow multiple pulls at one time by attaching 2 to 4 cables or
ducts to the Puller.
The slings are manufactured from aircraft quality wire rope.
The various legs are staggered in length so the individual connections are not interfer-
ing with each other. The lead coupler can be easily dismantled to change out a leg or
to add another leg.
Each leg is marked with load capacity and they are pull tested to 3 times that rating.
The safety factor of 3:1 is based on equal pull on all cables, (horizontal pull only).
Other sling congurations are available upon request.

Ball Bearing Swivels
These tough swivels are designed to handle higher thrust loads for extra cable safety
and faster straight pulls.
Precision-machined body is made of high quality stainless steel with higher working
load ratings than comparably sized swivels available on the market.
These heavy-duty swivels are built with a thrust bearing for tensile load and a radial
bearing for bending load.
Working Load Limit for underground applications is based on a horizontal pull of 3:1
while aerial applications have a WLL of 5:1.
The SDR designation determines the pipe minimum wall thickness. To calculate a particular
pipes wall thickness simply divide its nominal outside diameter by its SDR value. For example a
4 Pipe that is designated SDR 11 will have a minimum wall thickness of .409 (4.5 / 11 = .409).
The one-piece cone design incorporates a full sleeve, which completely encloses the jaws.
During set-up and operation this sleeve prevents the polyethylene pipe from over expanding
and rupturing.
Key components are hardened alloy steel to ensure that the pulling eye will not fail before
the pipe.
A swiveling eye nut provides for the attachment of a pulling line.
The Pulling Eyes will accomodate O.D. controlled pipe only.
