Pulling & Detection Blog

When it comes to cable-pulling on demanding construction sites, the tools and techniques you use can mean the difference between a job well done and a costly mishap. Enter the MULEKNOT. This highly efficient, purpose-built knot is your best ally in ensuring strong and reliable cable pulls when paired with MULETAPE®, the industry-leading cable-pulling tape.

Cable installation professionals know material selection plays a critical role in a job’s success. This is especially true for how the cable is installed in the conduit. NEPTCO developed MULETAPE with the goal of creating the safest and most economical pulling media that doesn't burn plastic ducts. After four decades of use in the field, MULETAPE demonstrates incredible heat distribution and low-stretch properties, eliminating the risk of snap-back, and resulting in safer and easier pulls.

Lubricant is crucial for underground cable installations. The right lubricant reduces friction and protects both cables and workers during installation. Conventional cable lubricants use a soap-based chemistry to reduce friction. However, as soap dries out it becomes sticky and can increase the pulling friction.

There is a new alternative silicone-based option hitting the market that boasts impressive performance characteristics. NEPTCO, the only makers of MULETAPE, has launched MULEGLIDE, a powerful new silicone lubricant to make cable installation jobs faster, smoother, and easier than ever.
