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.

    • Double FRP reinforced non-metallic central bundle tube cable

      Double FRP reinforced non-metallic central bund...

      The structure of the GYFXTBY optical cable consists of multiple (1-12 cores) 250μm colored optical fibers (single-mode or multimode optical fibers) that are enclosed in a loose tube made of high-modulus plastic and filled with waterproof compound. A non-metallic tensile element (FRP) is placed on both sides of the bundle tube, and a tearing rope is placed on the outer layer of the bundle tube. Then, the loose tube and two non-metallic reinforcements form a structure that is extruded with high-density polyethylene (PE) to create an arc runway optical cable.
