APC's engineering PowerPoint presentation shows an extreme example of cable failure caused by inadequate lubrication during installation.

Slide #11 in APC's engineering PowerPoint presentation shows an extreme example of cable failure caused by inadequate lubrication during installation. Typical failure due to excessive tension or sidewall pressure is harder to detect in the real world. Not all cables show physical damage without close inspection. Fiber cables, for example, can appear fine externally, but broken glass inside won't pass data. Another phenomenon is "treeing" of the insulation on over-stressed high-voltage cables. This can lead to voltage leaks and ultimately complete--and sometimes spectacular--cable failure. Sidewall pressure is something to be avoided. High quality cable pulling lubricant is the best and least expensive way to avoid this. The Engineering PowerPoint Presentation is a good way to introduce the benefits of Polywater lubricants to potential customers. It's available for your use. Just call.

The elegance and exclusivity of APC's Friction Table.

To quote from a recent Technical Talk Article, "Polywater maintains a leadership position in cable pulling lubricants by focusing on a lubricant's primary function; the reduction of pulling tension and sidewall pressure through reduced friction." This is embodied by the article's subject: the elegance and exclusivity of APC's Friction Table. While Polywater reps should definitely read the article, they don't need to understand the science. What they do need to know and be able to communicate in summary is that the Friction Table ... 1) Is absolutely unique and exclusive. 2) Is proven accurate through years of back calculation, and real world field experience. 3) Demonstrates huge differences between cable and duct types (and lubes). 4) Shows that test methods of other manufacturers are merely theoretical and suspect. 5) Produces technological advances that APC shares with the industry, and ... 6) Proves that nobody in the world knows this stuff like us.
