What is the maximum distance for blowing optical fiber cable with compressed air through pipes?
The method known also as Cable jetting.
Taking into consideration no lubricant is used.
I am asking for the existence of a general rule or recommendation which is used by telecoms or if someone of you have personal experience in this field what is the distance for which there will be no problems with cable stuck in the middle of the pipe between two ducts. I am asking because I want to know at what distance will be placed the ducts.

About blowing special cables to homes:
Specific distances may be outdated in this book but we can still draw a conclusion that blowing distance depends on fiber cable type.
