Abstract
A device for pulling fiber optic cable through ducts and conduits comprises an elongated housing having a closed forward end, an open rearward end, and a central bore extending longitudinally therethrough for reception of a pre-terminated fiber optic cable including one or more ferrules terminated in corresponding ferrules which rest within the housing, the forward end being provided with grasping means, and the rearward end being adapted for mounting to a tensile load-bearing portion of the terminated end of the fiber optic cable. In a preferred embodiment, the rearward end is provided with threads for threaded engagement with a receptor nut mounted on the strain relief of a terminated fiber optic cable.
