Single Mode Fibre Blowing Distance

Question

What is the maximum distance that we can blow in single mode fibre in one sitting?

Answer

Maximum distance is generally subject to choice of the blowing jet. For example a Scirroco (EM25) jet has a maximum distance of 1000m where as a Nanoflow claims to be 1200m. A technique known as midway blowing where the blowing takes place at the halfway point in each direction can extend this distance to a theoretical 2Km
