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.

    • ST Type

      ST Type

      Fiber optic adapter, sometimes also called a coupler, is a small device designed to terminate or link fiber optic cables or fiber optic connectors between two fiber optic lines. It contains the interconnect sleeve that holds two ferrules together. By precisely linking two connectors, fiber optic adapters allow the light sources to be transmitted at their maximum and minimize the loss as much as possible. At the same time, fiber optic adapters have the advantages of low insertion loss, good interchangeability, and reproducibility. They are used to connect optical fiber connectors such as FC, SC, LC, ST, MU, MTRJ, D4, DIN, MPO, etc. They are widely used in optical fiber communications equipment, measuring appliances, and so on. The performance is stable and reliable.

      Self-supporting Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable

      The 250um fibers are positioned in a loose tube made of high modulus plastic. The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A steel wire is located in the center of the core as a metallic strength member. The tubes (and fibers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core. After an Aluminum (or steel tape) Polyethylene Laminate (APL) moisture barrier is applied around the cable core, this part of the cable, accompanied by the stranded wires as the supporting part, is completed with a polyethylene (PE) sheath to form a figure 8 structure. Figure 8 cables, GYTC8A and GYTC8S, are also available upon request. This type of cable is specifically designed for self-supporting aerial installation.
