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.

    • Armoured Patchcord

      Armoured Patchcord

      Oyi armoured patch cord provides flexible interconnection to active equipment, passive optical devices and cross connects. These patch cords are manufactured so as to withstand side pressure and repeated bending and are used in external applications in customer premises, central offices and in harsh environment. Armoured patch cords are constructed with a stainless steel tube over a standard patch cord with an outer jacket. The flexible metal tube limits the bending radius, preventing the optical fibre from breaking. This ensures a safe and durable optical fibre network system. According to the transmission medium, it divides to Single Mode and Multi Mode Fiber Optic Pigtail; According to the connector structure type, it divides FC, SC, ST, MU, MTRJ, D4, E2000, LC etc.; According to the polished ceramic end-face, it divides to PC, UPC and APC. Oyi can provide all kinds of optic fiber patchcord products; The transmission mode, optical cable type and connector type can be arbitrarily matched. It has the advantages of stable transmission, high reliability and customization; it is widely used in optical network scenarios such as central office, FTTX and LAN etc.
