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.

    • SC/APC SM 0.9mm Pigtail

      SC/APC SM 0.9mm Pigtail

      Fiber optic pigtails provide a quick way to create communication devices in the field. They are designed, manufactured, and tested according to protocols and performance standards set by the industry, which will meet your most stringent mechanical and performance specifications. A fiber optic pigtail is a length of fiber cable with only one connector fixed on one end. Depending on the transmission medium, it is divided into single mode and multi mode fiber optic pigtails; according to the connector structure type, it is divided into FC, SC, ST, MU, MTRJ, D4, E2000, LC, etc. according to the polished ceramic end-face, it is divided into PC, UPC, and APC. Oyi can provide all kinds of optic fiber pigtail 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 offices, FTTX, and LAN, etc.
    • MPO / MTP Trunk Cables

      MPO / MTP Trunk Cables

      Oyi MTP/MPO Trunk & Fan-out trunk patch cords provide an efficient way to install a large number of cables quickly. It also provides high flexibility on unplugging and re-use. It is especially suitable for the areas that require rapid deployment of high-density backbone cabling in data centers, and high fibre environments for high performance.   MPO / MTP branch fan-out cable of us use high-density multi-core fiber cables and MPO / MTP connector through the intermediate branch structure to realize switching branch from the MPO / MTP to LC, SC, FC, ST, MTRJ and other common connectors. A variety of 4-144 single-mode and multi-mode optical cables can be used, such as common G652D/G657A1/G657A2 single-mode fiber, multimode 62.5/125, 10G OM2/OM3/OM4, or 10G multimode optical cable with high bending performance and so on .It is suitable for direct connection of MTP-LC branch cables–one end is 40Gbps QSFP+, and the other end is four 10Gbps SFP+. This connection decomposes one 40G into four 10G.
