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.

    • OYI-ODF-FR-Series Type

      OYI-ODF-FR-Series Type

      The OYI-ODF-FR-Series type optical fiber cable terminal panel is used for cable terminal connection and can also be used as a distribution box. It has a 19″ standard structure and is of the fixed rack-mounted type, making it convenient to operate. It is suitable for SC, LC, ST, FC, E2000 adapters, and more.

      The rack mounted optical cable terminal box is a device that terminates between the optical cables and the optical communication equipment. It has the functions of splicing, termination, storing, and patching of optical cables. The FR-series rack mount fiber enclosure provides easy access to fiber management and splicing. It offers a versatile solution in multiple sizes (1U/2U/3U/4U) and styles for building backbones, data centers, and enterprise applications.

    • OYI D Type Fast Connector

      OYI D Type Fast Connector

      Our fiber optic fast connector OYI D type is designed for FTTH (Fiber To The Home), FTTX (Fiber To The X). It is a new generation of fiber connector used in assembly and can provide open flow and precast types, with optical and mechanical specifications that meet the standard for optical fiber connectors. It is designed for high quality and high efficiency during installation.

      GJFJKH

      Jacketed aluminum interlocking armor provides the optimal balance of ruggedness, flexibility and low weight. The Multi-Strand Indoor Armored Tight-Buffered 10 Gig Plenum M OM3 Fiber Optic Cable from Discount Low Voltage is a good choice inside buildings where toughness is required or where rodents are a problem. These also are ideal for manufacturing plants and harsh industrial environments as well as high-density routings in data centers. Interlocking armor can be used with other types of cable, including indoor/outdoor tight-buffered cables.

    • 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.

    • OYI-FOSC-H13

      OYI-FOSC-H13

      The OYI-FOSC-05H Horizontal fiber optic splice closure has two connection ways: direct connection and splitting connection. They are applicable to situations such as overhead, manhole of pipeline, and embedded situations, etc. Comparing with a terminal box, the closure requires much stricter requirements for sealing. Optical splice closures are used to distribute, splice, and store the outdoor optical cables that enter and exit from the ends of the closure.

      The closure has 3 entrance ports and 3 output ports. The shell of the product is made from ABS/PC+PP material. These closures provide excellent protection for fiber optic joints from outdoor environments such as UV, water, and weather, with leak-proof sealing and IP68 protection.

    • Simplex Patch Cord

      Simplex Patch Cord

      OYI fiber optic simplex patch cord, also known as a fiber optic jumper, is composed of a fiber optic cable terminated with different connectors at each end. Fiber optic patch cables are used in two major application areas: connecting computer workstations to outlets and patch panels or optical cross-connect distribution centers. OYI provides various types of fiber optic patch cables, including single-mode, multi-mode, multi-core, armored patch cables, as well as fiber optic pigtails and other special patch cables. For most of the patch cables, connectors such as SC, ST, FC, LC, MU, MTRJ, and E2000 (with APC/UPC polish) are available. Additionally, we also offer MTP/MPO patch cords.
