Sherman + Reilly Telecom, recently inte-
grated with Greenlee Communications, has
released the all new Ultimaz P2P (point-to-
point) fiber drop cable installation system.
The Ultimaz P2P is designed to install fiber
drops from 50 to 1,200 feet long that can ac-
commodate cable diameters from 5.8mm to
10.5mm or either of the microducts and OSP
ducts measuring from 10/8mm to 1 1/4-inch
I.D. This hybrid unit installs most drops sim-
ply by its cordless drill driven pusher while
allowing for the injection of compressed air
for difficult drops.
Benefits to installers include safer installs
by eliminating injuries and fatigue from hand
pulling and higher production due to no pull
lines and direct installs from the cable reel.
The versatile system can install round or flat
cables, and the low tool cost makes it afford-
able.
Advantages of the Ultimaz P2P include
higher-production installations, ergonomi-
cally superior to hand pulling, protecting
fiber cable as enhanced by pushing, expo-
nentially superior when jetted or blown with
virtually no stress on the fiber cable, and user
friendly with fast and easy setup.
