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.
The Jameson 18-FFPS2 supports the installation process from cable-reel payout through excess-fiber organization:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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.
Applications
The Jameson 18-FFPS2 is suited for professional applications including:
A cordless drill, cable reel, fiber cable, duct, handhole, cable ties, optional fish-tape accessories, and installation consumables are not included unless otherwise specified.

18-FFPS2 Compared with 18-FFPS1
Both Jameson systems include:
The difference is the included duct-adapter range:
** INSERT PRODUCT TABLE, 01 HERE **
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.
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:
Intermountain Sales supplies Jameson fiber installation and cable-handling equipment to broadband contractors, telecommunications crews, utilities, municipalities, and professional installers throughout Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho.
Our team can help determine whether the 18-FFPS2 is suitable for your cable profile, duct size, reel dimensions, route, and installation workflow. Product demonstrations are available so operators can evaluate the Fiber Driver, Fiber Winder, and Spool Mule before deploying the system in the field.
The system includes the 18-FFPC2 Fiber Driver Kit with five duct adapters and a hard case, the 18-FW1 Fiber Winder, and the RB-36 Spool Mule portable reel stand.
The 18-FFPC2 kit includes adapters for 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch duct.
The systems include the same types of installation equipment but have different Fiber Driver duct adapters. The 18-FFPS1 covers 10 mm through 18 mm duct, while the 18-FFPS2 includes 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch adapters.
No. The 18-FFPS2 is a non-air-assisted installation system. The Air Boost Unit is included in the Jameson 18-FFK1 Fiber Driver with Air Boost Kit.
Jameson states that the Fiber Driver can push compatible fiber more than 300 feet in less than 30 seconds under suitable conditions. Actual results depend on the cable, duct, route, reel setup, drill, and operating technique.
The Fiber Driver is powered by a compatible cordless drill. The drill is not included unless otherwise specified.
The Fiber Driver is designed for handheld, single-operator use. Certain jobs may still require another crew member to manage the reel, monitor an access point, or coordinate the receiving end.
Yes. The Fiber Driver can be loaded onto or removed from compatible fiber at a mid-span location.
The Fiber Driver operates in forward and reverse, allowing compatible cable to be advanced or retracted when properly configured.
The RB-36 Spool Mule accommodates compatible reels up to 36 inches in diameter with a maximum loaded weight of 100 pounds.
The 18-FW1 holds up to approximately 200 feet of compatible cable. Actual capacity depends on cable dimensions, stiffness, construction, and minimum bend radius.
The Fiber Driver can install compatible cable directly from a supported reel in suitable duct, reducing the need for a pull line or fish tape. Some routes may still require additional preparation or another installation method.
The Fiber Driver can push and retract compatible Jameson fish tapes when equipped with the optional urethane drive wheel and Little Buddy Adapter. These accessories are not included with the standard system unless specifically listed.
