Jameson 18-FFPS2 Fiber Driver Installation System 2 

Part Number: 18-FFPS2

The Jameson 18-FFPS2 Fiber Driver Installation System combines three essential tools for efficient FTTH final-drop installations: the drill-powered 18-FFPC2 Fiber Driver Kit, the 18-FW1 Fiber Winder, and the RB-36 Spool Mule.

Together, these tools allow crews to support the cable reel, mechanically advance compatible flat-drop fiber through duct, and organize excess cable for handhole storage. The system helps eliminate repetitive hand-over-hand cable feeding while reducing the time and physical effort required for suitable fiber installations.

System 2 includes Fiber Driver adapters for 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch duct, making it the appropriate 18-FFPS configuration for crews working with larger conduit sizes.

Complete FTTH Fiber Installation System

The Jameson 18-FFPS2 supports the installation process from cable-reel payout through excess-fiber organization:

  1. The RB-36 Spool Mule supports the fiber reel and allows cable to pay out during installation.
  2. The 18-FFPC2 Fiber Driver Kit uses a compatible cordless drill to mechanically advance flat-drop fiber into the duct.
  3. The 18-FW1 Fiber Winder organizes excess cable into a controlled bundle for storage in a handhole or other approved location.

This coordinated setup helps operators manage the reel, cable, duct entrance, and excess fiber with fewer separate tools and installation steps.

Designed for Larger Duct Sizes

The 18-FFPS2 includes the 18-FFPC2 Fiber Driver Kit with adapters for:

  • 14 mm duct
  • 16 mm duct
  • 18 mm duct
  • 3/4-inch duct
  • 1-inch duct

This adapter selection distinguishes System 2 from the 18-FFPS1, which includes adapters for smaller duct sizes.

Always confirm the duct’s actual dimensions, cable profile, adapter fit, route condition, and manufacturer requirements before beginning an installation.

Drill-Powered Fiber Installation

The included Fiber Driver replaces repetitive manual feeding with a controlled mechanical drive. A compatible cordless drill rotates the drive wheel, allowing the operator to advance fiber through the duct while controlling speed and direction.

Jameson states that the Fiber Driver can push compatible fiber more than 300 feet in less than 30 seconds under suitable conditions.

Actual speed and installation distance depend on factors including:

  • Cable dimensions and construction
  • Duct size and condition
  • Number and severity of bends
  • Route length
  • Elevation changes
  • Reel position and payout resistance
  • Drill performance
  • Adapter selection
  • Operator setup and technique

The stated installation performance should not be interpreted as a guaranteed result for every cable route.

Compact, Lightweight Fiber Driver

The Fiber Driver weighs approximately 1.4 pounds, helping reduce operator fatigue compared with repetitive hand-over-hand cable threading.

Its compact design fits easily into a standard toolbox or equipment bag. The supplied hard case keeps the Fiber Driver and duct adapters organized and protected during transportation and storage.

The handheld configuration is suitable for indoor or outdoor work and does not require a dedicated hydraulic or electrical power unit.

Direct-Reel Cable Payout

The included RB-36 Spool Mule supports compatible cable reels while the Fiber Driver advances the fiber into the duct.

Direct-reel installation reduces the need to lay the entire cable length on the ground before feeding it. This can reduce cable handling, keep the work area more organized, and allow the reel to pay out as the cable enters the duct.

The RB-36 Spool Mule accommodates compatible reels:

  • Up to 36 inches in diameter
  • Up to 100 pounds in loaded weight

Its collapsible steel frame, built-in wheels, rubber feet, and fiberglass axle make it suitable for transportation and field use.

Organize Excess Fiber for Handhole Storage

The included 18-FW1 Fiber Winder allows technicians to wind and bundle up to approximately 200 feet of compatible excess cable.

This is especially useful when flat-drop fiber must be stored in a handhole before direct burial, final connection, or future service. The Fiber Winder helps produce a controlled bundle instead of leaving loose or tangled cable inside the handhole.

After the cable has been wound, the tool separates for quick removal of the completed bundle. When not in use, the Fiber Winder breaks down flat for compact storage.

Always follow the cable manufacturer’s minimum bend-radius and handling requirements.

Mid-Span Loading and Removal

The Fiber Driver can be loaded onto or removed from compatible cable at a mid-span location. The operator does not need to thread the entire cable length through the tool before installation begins.

Mid-span access provides greater flexibility when working between:

  • Cable reels
  • Handholes
  • Pedestals
  • Building entrances
  • Access points
  • Existing cable routes

This capability also makes it easier to reposition the Fiber Driver as installation conditions change.

Forward and Reverse Operation

The Fiber Driver operates in both forward and reverse. This allows compatible cable to be mechanically advanced or retracted when properly configured.

Reverse operation can assist with repositioning the cable, correcting a setup issue, or removing fiber from a duct. Operators should avoid exceeding the cable manufacturer’s maximum pulling tension, compression, or minimum bend-radius requirements.

Optional Fish-Tape Application

When equipped with the appropriate urethane drive wheel and optional Jameson Little Buddy Adapter, the Fiber Driver may also be used to push and retract compatible Jameson fish tapes.

The urethane drive wheel, Little Buddy Adapter, fish tape, and related accessories are not included with the standard 18-FFPS2 system unless specifically listed.

18-FFPS2 Compared with 18-FFPS1

Both Jameson systems include:

  • A drill-powered Fiber Driver Kit
  • An 18-FW1 Fiber Winder
  • An RB-36 Spool Mule
  • A fitted Fiber Driver carrying case
  • Five duct adapters

The difference is the included duct-adapter range:

SystemFiber Driver KitIncluded Duct Adapters
18-FFPS118-FFPC110 mm, 12.7 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, and 18 mm
18-FFPS218-FFPC214 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 3/4 inch, and 1 inch

Choose the 18-FFPS1 when the intended installations require its smaller metric adapters.

Choose the 18-FFPS2 when crews require the 3/4-inch and 1-inch adapters included with Fiber Driver Kit 2.

18-FFPS2 Compared with the 18-FFK1 Air Boost Kit

The 18-FFPS2 is a complete cable-handling system that includes a Fiber Driver, Fiber Winder, and Spool Mule. It does not include the compressed-air-powered Air Boost Unit.

The 18-FFK1 combines the Fiber Driver with an Air Boost Kit. Compressed air helps reduce cable-to-duct friction during longer or more demanding installations, but that package does not include the Fiber Winder or Spool Mule.

Select the system that best fits the installation workflow:

  • Choose the 18-FFPS2 for larger-duct compatibility, direct-reel payout, mechanical fiber pushing, and excess-cable organization.
  • Choose the 18-FFK1 when compressed-air assistance is needed to reduce friction and support longer pushes.
