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.

The fiber optic lines are very clear, making it convenient to operate and maintain. There are 2 cable holes under the box that can accommodate 2 outdoor optical cables for direct or different junctions, and it can also accommodate 12 FTTH drop optical cables for end connections. The fiber splicing tray uses a flip form and can be configured with a capacity of 12 cores to accommodate the expansion of the box’s usage.

    • GYFJH

      GYFJH

      The GYFJH radio frequency remote fiber optic cable. The structure of the optical cable is using two or four single-mode or multi-mode fibers which directly covered with low-smoke and halogen-free material to make tight-buffer fiber, each cable uses high-strength aramid yarn as the reinforcing element, and is extruded with a layer of LSZH inner sheath. Meanwhile, in order to fully ensure the roundness and physical and mechanical characteristics of the cable, two aramid fiber filing ropes are placed as reinforcement elements, Sub cable and the filler unit are twisted to form a cable core and then extruded by LSZH outer sheath (TPU or other agreed sheath material is also available upon request).

    • Anchoring Clamp PA2000

      Anchoring Clamp PA2000

      The anchoring cable clamp is of high quality and durable. This product consists of two parts: a stainless steel wire and its main material, a reinforced nylon body that is lightweight and convenient to carry outdoors. The clamp’s body material is UV plastic, which is friendly and safe and can be used in tropical environments. The FTTH anchor clamp is designed to fit various ADSS cable designs and can hold cables with diameters of 11-15mm. It is used on dead-end fiber optic cables. Installing the FTTH drop cable fitting is easy, but preparation of the optical cable is required before attaching it. The open hook self-locking construction makes installation on fiber poles easier. The anchor FTTX optical fiber clamp and drop wire cable brackets are available either separately or together as an assembly.

      FTTX drop cable anchor clamps have passed tensile tests and have been tested in temperatures ranging from -40 to 60 degrees Celsius. They have also undergone temperature cycling tests, aging tests, and corrosion-resistant tests.
