Part Number: 18-FFP1
The Jameson 18-FFP1 Fiber Driver provides a faster, easier way to install round fiber optic drop cable through compatible duct. Its compact, ergonomic design replaces repetitive hand-over-hand feeding with a controlled mechanical drive, helping fiber installation crews reduce fatigue, minimize cable buckling, and complete final-drop installations more efficiently.
This configuration includes a urethane drive wheel for improved performance with round fiber and a 12.7 mm OD duct adapter.
Traditional hand feeding can be slow, physically demanding, and difficult to control. The Jameson Fiber Driver helps eliminate the repetitive manual threading process by applying consistent mechanical force to the cable.
Under suitable conditions, the 18-FFP1 can push compatible fiber more than 300 feet in less than 30 seconds. Actual performance will depend on the cable, duct condition, route design, bends, elevation changes, and other jobsite factors.
Because the Fiber Driver can be loaded or removed from the cable mid-span, technicians are not limited to starting at the end of the fiber. This provides greater flexibility when working around reels, access points, buildings, and existing cable routes.

The 18-FFP1 is equipped with a urethane drive wheel that provides added grip and control when installing compatible round fiber cable.
The urethane wheel configuration differentiates the 18-FFP1 from Fiber Driver models designed primarily for flat drop fiber. Cable dimensions and compatibility should be confirmed before beginning an installation.
The Jameson 18-FFP1 Fiber Driver is designed for professional fiber installation applications, including:
The Jameson 18-FFP1 package includes:
A cordless drill, fiber cable, duct, and optional accessories are not included unless otherwise specified.

What is the Jameson 18-FFP1 Fiber Driver used for?
The 18-FFP1 is used to push compatible round fiber optic drop cable through duct during FTTH, broadband, and telecommunications installations. It replaces repetitive hand-over-hand feeding with a controlled mechanical drive.
How far can the 18-FFP1 push fiber?
Jameson states that the Fiber Driver can push compatible fiber more than 300 feet in less than 30 seconds under suitable conditions. Actual distance and speed depend on cable compatibility, duct diameter, bends, friction, elevation changes, route design, and jobsite conditions.
What size duct adapter is included?
The 18-FFP1 includes a 12.7 mm OD duct adapter.
Is the 18-FFP1 intended for round or flat fiber?
The 18-FFP1 includes a urethane drive wheel designed to provide added performance when pushing compatible round fiber. Other Fiber Driver configurations are available for flat drop fiber.
Can the Fiber Driver be installed on the cable mid-span?
Yes. The Fiber Driver can be loaded onto or removed from compatible fiber at a mid-span location.
Can the 18-FFP1 work with Jameson fish tapes?
Yes. When equipped with the optional Jameson Little Buddy Adapter, the urethane-wheel Fiber Driver can push and retract compatible Jameson fish tapes.
