Plumettaz OptiJet Micro-Cable Blowing Machine
The Plumettaz OptiJet™ is a compact, battery-powered micro-cable blowing machine for fibre optic micro-cables and fibre units from 1.5 to 8 mm in micro-ducts from 3 to 16 mm OD. Both variants deliver 8–150 N pushing force at up to 100 m/min with automatic crash testing and automatic pushing force and cable clamping settings. The OptiJet™ Automatic adds fully autonomous operation — automatic air pressure management, wireless tablet reporting, installation assistance software, and Remote Monitoring. No generator, no power cord, no compressed air waste.
More Information
The Plumettaz OptiJet™ is a battery-powered micro-cable blowing machine built for optical fibre installation — compact, intelligent, and quiet enough to run without a generator. Two variants cover every level of operator from hands-on to fully autonomous.
Key Features
-
-
- Automatic crash test on every run — determines the maximum pushing force for each specific cable and duct combination before installation begins; exclusive to OptiJet™
- Automatic pushing force and cable clamping — set automatically for every cable and duct pairing, protecting the cable jacket from damage or abrasion across the full run
- Belt drive with precise slippage control — stops the cable immediately even during abrupt duct connector impacts, eliminating damaging force on the cable
- Battery-powered electric drive — no power cord, no generator, no fuel; significantly quieter on site and reduces compressed air consumption
- Up to 100 m/min blowing speed — across both variants for micro-cables 1.5 to 8 mm
- Automatic air pressure management (OptiJet™ Automatic only) — hands-free operation; adapts automatically to changing conditions during the run
- Wireless tablet with reporting and installation assistance (OptiJet™ Automatic only) — PDF report generation, remote transmission, and access to Plumettaz Remote Monitoring digital service
