More than five hundred meters of 24-pair fiber optic cables from Angola Telecom were vandalized, last weekend, on section 105 between the city of Ondjiva and the municipality of Ombadja, province of Cunene, by unknown individuals. According to fibre optic cable operators, the landslide cut the West Africa Cable System (WACS) and SAT-3, two submarine cables that together serve around 20 countries over thousands of kilometres. There are also concerns that it could take a month before the cables are repaired. This is because both public and private organisations have made major investments in the past ten years.

A cable blowing machine (also known as a fiber blowing machine) is a machine designed to fit fiber optic cables into telecommunication ducts and microducts with the use of compressed air or water. Blowing machines are classified with regard to the diameter of the cable they can handle and the type of drive system (track feeder, roller feeder, belt feeder or blowing heads without feeders).

Corning Optical Communications field trials have confirmed that a single air-assisted device can install 1500 to 2100 meters (5000 to 7000 feet) of optical fiber cable under good conditions. This application note discusses fiber optic cable installation by blowing technique, the factors effecting blowing performance and best practices. Also, the optical fibre diameter evolution from 250 to 200 and now 180μm will cable was considered very fragile and must be protected in the ground.
