CABLE PULLING TAPE

Narrowtex is a manufacturer of Conduit Pulling Tape which assists in fast tracking cable installations in the telecommunication and electrical industries. Our range of Conduit Pulling Tapes are available in a variety of strengths and lengths which eliminates the additional labour required for string, rope or winch line combinations.

Narrowtex Pulling Tape exceeds all pull line requirements and the specific silicon coating provides superb performance in the installation of fibre optic lines. The tape’s design not only facilitates quick installations but also protects conduit infrastructure over the long term, saving on potential repair and maintenance costs.

WHAT IS CABLE PULLING TAPE?

Electricians use cable pulling tape as an electrical conduit and to route new wiring through walls. The main purpose of the pulling tape is to push through toward a space where a guide string has been dropped inside a restricted space and to pull it through, so the guide string can be used to pull through various kinds of wiring such as network cables, phone wire and speaker wires. The Narrowtex Cable Pulling Tape is specifically designed for Power Utility, Telecommunication and CATV cable installations.

PULL TAPE ACCURATE METERED MARKINGS

Narrowtex pull tape is marked with accurate sequential meter markings to:

Measure conduits precisely – very important where conduits are leased/shared.
Proof conduits – continuity and help identify the location of crushed cabling
Determine the cable length and eliminate the need for measuring tapes
Monitor cable location
Determine the metres on a partial roll

INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS

Fiber optics (telecommunications)
Power utilities (energy companies in USA were experiencing up to 30% cable wastage before the introduction of pulling tape with foot/meter markings.
Cable television (hard line)
CFM required for blow in
– 100 – 125 CFM – small conduits/short runs
– 160 – 180 CFM – wider conduits/longer runs

SPECIAL PULL TAPE FEATURES

Lowest burn through resistance
Pre-lubrication reduces friction and safeguards against duct cutting, making the pulling tape trouble free
Durable sequential foot-markings for measuring and proof conduits
Maintains its flat shape, making it easier to blow into place,
improving pulling performance.
Flat design distributes the side-wall load and reduces duct burn-through

Easily spliced through conventional methods
Lightweight so the tape can be easily blown through the conduit
Disperses load over a larger surface area of conduit, reducing frictional heat build-up and burn-through, especially at curves or turns.
Protects conduit infrastructure and can be pre-installed
Balanced tension of the cable pulling tape prevents flossing through conduit

TECHNICAL

Only the highest quality polyester, polypropylene, nylon and cotton yarns are used in the manufacture of our cable pulling tapes, webbings and strapping to ensure a consistent and reliable product with superior all round performance.
