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.

    • FTTH Drop Cable Suspension Tension Clamp S Hook B type

      FTTH Drop Cable Suspension Tension Clamp S Hook...

      FTTH fiber optic drop cable suspension tension clamp S hook clamps are also called insulated plastic drop wire clamps. The design of the dead-ending and suspension thermoplastic drop clamp includes a closed conical body shape and a flat wedge. It is connected to the body through a flexible link, ensuring its captivity and an opening bail. It is a kind of drop cable clamp that is widely used for both indoor and outdoor installations. It is provided with a serrated shim to increase hold on the drop wire and used to support one and two pair telephone drop wires at span clamps, drive hooks, and various drop attachments. The prominent advantage of the insulated drop wire clamp is that it can prevent electrical surges from reaching the customer premises. The working load on the support wire is effectively reduced by the insulated drop wire clamp. It is characterized by good corrosion resistant performance, good insulating properties, and long life service. OYI offers this tension clamp with appropriate fish type, S-type, and other FTTH clamps. All the assemblies have passed the tensile tests and operation experience with temperatures ranging from -60°C up to +60°C tests.

    • Air Blowing Mini Optical Fibre Cable

      Air Blowing Mini Optical Fibre Cable

      The optical fiber is placed inside a loose tube made of high-modulus hydrolyzable material. The tube is then filled with thixotropic, water-repellent fiber paste to form a loose tube of optical fiber. A plurality of fiber optic loose tubes, arranged according to color order requirements and possibly including filler parts, are formed around the central non-metallic reinforcement core to create the cable core via SZ stranding. The gap in the cable core is filled with dry, water-retaining material to block water. A layer of polyethylene (PE) sheath is then extruded. The optical cable is laid by air blowing microtube. First, the air blowing microtube is laid in the outer protection tube, and then the micro cable is laid in the intake air blowing microtube by air blowing. This laying method has a high fiber density, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the pipeline. It is also easy to expand the pipeline capacity and diverge the optical cable.
