| Video From what I saw they pulled out an old paper cable with an lead sheath on it. The old paper cable cables used to have air pressure on them to keep them dry. All they did was put a lube in the cable to pull the old copper and paper out. This is a great idea when the ducts are collapsed between manholes. We just pull the cables out of the ducts and use the cable to pull 2-3 inter ducts right behind the cable coming out just in case the duct is collapsed.
Most likely it was done in a duct run between manholes in a straight shot [no sharp bends]. I like to see them pull a gel filled cable out buried in a subdivision with splices on it. Also they dug a pit to cut the cable they were pulling so I guess we will still be digging up people yards.
