Product Detail

FAQ

Product Tags

Optical ground wire (OPGW) is a dual functioning cable. It is designed to replace traditional static/shield/earth wires on overhead transmission lines with the added benefit of containing optical fibers which can be used for telecommunications purposes. OPGW must be capable of withstanding the mechanical stresses applied to overhead cables by environmental factors such as wind and ice. OPGW must also be capable of handling electrical faults on the transmission line by providing a path to ground without damaging the sensitive optical fibers inside the cable.

The OPGW cable design is constructed of a fiber optic core (with multiple sub-units depending on the fiber count) encased in a hermetically sealed hardened aluminum pipe with a covering of one or more layers of steel and/or alloy wires. Installation is very similar to the process used to install conductors, although care must be taken to use the proper sheave or pulley sizes so as not to cause damage or crush the cable. After installation, when the cable is ready to be spliced, the wires are cut away exposing the central aluminum pipe which can easily be ring-cut with a pipe cutting tool. The color-coded sub-units are preferred by most users because they make splice box preparation very simple.

    • Anchoring Clamp PA3000

      Anchoring Clamp PA3000

      The anchoring cable clamp PA3000 is of high quality and durable. This product consists of two parts: a stainless-steel wire and its main material, a reinforced nylon body that is lightweight and convenient to carry outdoors. The clamp’s body material is UV plastic, which is friendly and safe and can be used in tropical environments and is hung and pulled by electroplating steel wire or 201 304 stainless-steel wire. The FTTH anchor clamp is designed to fit various ADSS cable designs and can hold cables with diameters of 8-17mm. It is used on dead-end fiber optic cables. Installing the FTTH drop cable fitting is easy, but preparation of the optical cable is required before attaching it. The open hook self-locking construction makes installation on fiber poles easier. The anchor FTTX optical fiber clamp and drop wire cable brackets are available either separately or together as an assembly. FTTX drop cable anchor clamps have passed tensile tests and have been tested in temperatures ranging from -40 to 60 degrees Celsius. They have also undergone temperature cycling tests, aging tests, and corrosion-resistant tests.
    • Wire Rope Thimbles

      Wire Rope Thimbles

      Thimble is a tool that is made to maintain the shape of a wire rope sling eye in order to keep it safe from various pulling, friction, and pounding. Additionally, this thimble also has the function of protecting the wire rope sling from being crushed and eroded, allowing the wire rope to last longer and be used more frequently. Thimbles have two main uses in our daily lives. One is for wire rope, and the other is for guy grip. They are called wire rope thimbles and guy thimbles. Below is a picture showing the application of wire rope rigging.
