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.

    • Multi Purpose Distribution Cable GJPFJV(GJPFJH )

      Multi Purpose Distribution Cable GJPFJV(GJPFJH )

      The multi-purpose optical level for wiring uses subunits, which consist of medium 900μm tight sleeved optical fibers and aramid yarn as reinforcement elements. The photon unit is layered on the non-metallic center reinforcement core to form the cable core, and the outermost layer is covered with a low smoke, halogen-free material (LSZH) sheath that is flame retardant.(PVC)
    • Non-metallic Strength Member Light-armored Direct Buried Cable

      Non-metallic Strength Member Light-armored Dire...

      The fibres are positioned in a loose tube made of PBT. The tube is filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A FRP wire locates in the center of core as a metallic strength member. The tubes (and the fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core. The cable core is filled with the filling compound to protect it from water ingress, over which a thin PE inner sheath is applied. After the PSP is longitudinally applied over the inner sheath, the cable is completed with a PE (LSZH) outer sheath.(WITH DOUBLE SHEATHS)
    • Dead end Guy Grip

      Dead end Guy Grip

      Dead-end preformed is widely used for the installation of bare conductors or overhead insulated conductors for transmission and distribution lines. The reliability and economic performance of the product are better than the bolt type and hydraulic type tension clamp that are widely used in the current circuit. This unique, one-piece dead-end is neat in appearance and free from bolts or high-stress holding devices. It can be made of galvanized steel or aluminum clad steel.

      The rack mount fiber optic MPO patch panel is used for cable terminal connection, protection, and management on trunk cable and fiber optic. It is popular in data centers, MDA, HAD, and EDA for cable connection and management. It is installed in a 19-inch rack and cabinet with an MPO module or MPO adapter panel. It has two types: fixed rack mounted type and drawer structure sliding rail type. It can also be widely used in optical fiber communication systems, cable television systems, LANs, WANs, and FTTX. It is made with cold rolled steel with Electrostatic spray, providing strong adhesive force, artistic design, and durability.
    • ABS Cassette Type Splitter

      ABS Cassette Type Splitter

      A fiber optic PLC splitter, also known as a beam splitter, is an integrated waveguide optical power distribution device based on a quartz substrate. It is similar to a coaxial cable transmission system. The optical network system also requires an optical signal to be coupled to the branch distribution. The fiber optic splitter is one of the most important passive devices in the optical fiber link. It is an optical fiber tandem device with many input terminals and many output terminals, especially applicable to a passive optical network (EPON, GPON, BPON, FTTX, FTTH, etc.) to connect the ODF and the terminal equipment and to achieve the branching of the optical signal.
