A tool (F) is provided for installing an optical fibre transmission line (1) between the inside of a customer's premises and the outside thereof along a preinstalled tubular pathway which passes through an aperture in a wall of said premises. The tool (F) comprising a housing (11), a motor mounted within the housing, a motor output shaft (12), and a pair of drive wheels (13, 14). At least one of the drive wheels (13 or 14) is drivably connected to the output shaft (12) of the motor. The drive wheels (13, 14) are mounted on the housing (11) for relative movement towards/away from one another, whereby the optical fibre transmission line (1) can be driven along the tubular pathway by the inter-engagement of the counter-rotating drive wheels (13, 14). The tool (F) may incorporate an air injector unit (21) for propelling the transmission line (1) along the tubular pathway by fluid drag of air passed through the pathway.

Un outil (F) permet d'installer une ligne (1) de transmission en fibre optique entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur d'un local de client le long d'un tube de passage pré-installé qui traverse une ouverture ménagée dans un mur de ce local. Cet outil (F) comprend un boîtier (11) qui contient un moteur, un arbre (12) de sortie de ce moteur, et une paire de galets (13, 14) d'entraînement dont l'un au moins est relié à l'arbre (12) de sortie du moteur qui l'entraîne. Les galets (13, 14) d'entraînement sont montés sur le boîtier (11) de façon à pouvoir se rapprocher ou s'éloigner, ce qui permet de piloter cette ligne (1) de transmission en fibre optique le long du tube de passage grâce à l'entrée en prise de ces roues (13, 14) d'entraînement contrarotatives. Cet outil (F) peut comprendre un injecteur d'air (21) qui propulse la ligne (1) de transmission le long du tube de passage grâce à l'entraînement du fluide qui y transite.
