Normally you want to have less than 600 lbs of tension on the fiber. I have pulled them with backhoes and pickups and bunches of people. But a small fiber in a large duct that is straight with lots a lube should be easy.

I've seen 00 electrical wire done that way, but I imagine that's a bit less sensitive to stretching than fiber. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: 9/26/2016 6:12:54 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] How long of a pull can I do? I had a customer pulled coax from their 2way tower through a pipe under the parking lot with mule tape tied to the back of their skid loader. Not saying I recommend it, and not sure how much lube they used.

Empty 2" conduit by the way, with a string. I could use the string to pull in a mule tape or a rope, and maybe I could use a capstan to pull the fiber. I don't have a tension limited winch, and I'm not sure if that could be done by hand. I've done 700' by hand....and it wasn't easy. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Adam Moffett" <dmmoff...@gmail.com> To: "Animal Farm" <af@afmug.com> Sent: 9/26/2016 5:59:33 PM Subject: [AFMUG] How long of a pull can I do? Would I be stupid to try and pull a 48 count loose tube fiber 1500' in one shot? There are bends, but no elbows.
