Cable lubricants

Using the right, high-quality lubricant is essential when blowing fibre optic cable and pulling power cable into ducts. It considerably lowers the coefficient of friction, which significantly increases the distance that can be reached when blowing, or reduces the pulling force when the cable is pulled.

From our stock in Croatia we can therefore offer the following lubricants by the renowned manufacturer Polywater – USA.
