Explanation

Industry standards (per BICSI and related OSP installation guidelines) require that all entrance conduits be pre-installed with a pull line rated for a minimum pulling tension of 90 kg (200 lbs). This rating ensures the line is strong enough to pull entrance cables without breaking during the pull, while also being compatible with the typical weight and friction loads encountered in entrance conduit runs. Pull lines rated below 90 kg (200 lbs) risk snapping under load, leaving the conduit inaccessible without re-boring or rodding.
