Carima S LUB 10 (5L) – Lubricant for Fiber Optic Cable Blowing

Carima S LUB 10  (5L) is a specialized lubricant in the form of an emulsion, designed for the pneumatic installation of mini and micro fiber optic cables using cable blowing machines. The product can also be used when blowing cables out of ducts, making it easier to move them through the cable conduit.

The water-based lubricant effectively reduces friction between the cable and the inner surface of the duct, improving installation conditions. Carima S LUB 10 is intended for use in ducts with an internal diameter from 4 to 20 mm, making it suitable for microduct systems and FTTH network construction.

Lubricant for fiber optic cable blowing machines

Carima S LUB 10 5L has been developed for installers using pneumatic cable blowing technology. Its suitable lubricating properties significantly reduce friction as the cable moves through the duct.

The product can be used for:

• blowing micro fiber optic cables,
• blowing mini fiber optic cables,
• blowing cables out of ducts,
• installing cables in microduct systems,
• work involving fiber optic cable blowing machines,
• installation in ducts with an internal diameter of 4–20 mm.

Effective friction reduction

The water-based formula of Carima S LUB 10 provides effective lubricating properties that help reduce friction during fiber optic cable installation.

Reducing resistance during cable blowing makes it easier for the cable to move through the duct and can contribute to faster and more efficient installation, especially over longer distances.

Directions for use

Carima S LUB 10 can be applied in several ways, depending on the installation method used:

• fill the lubricant reservoir of the cable blowing machine,
• lubricate the cable while it is being blown,
• lubricate the inner surface of the pipe or duct.

Proper distribution of the lubricant helps reduce friction between the cable surface and the duct, allowing the cable to move more easily.

Recommended quantities

The amount of lubricant should be selected according to the duct diameter. Recommended values are:

The low consumption of the product makes Carima S LUB 10 an efficient and economical solution for long fiber optic cable routes.

Non-toxic and non-flammable product

Carima S LUB 10 is non-toxic and non-flammable. The product is water-based and environmentally friendly thanks to its biodegradability.

These properties make it suitable for professional installation work without the need to use aggressive lubricants.

Application in FTTH networks and microduct systems

Carima S LUB 10 is intended for fiber optic installations using small-diameter ducts. Its compatibility with duct diameters from 4 to 20 mm makes it suitable for a wide range of microduct systems.

The product can be used both when constructing new fiber optic routes and when expanding or upgrading existing infrastructure.
