Applications: OPGW cable is suited for installation on transmission lines with the double function of a ground wire (designed to replace traditional static or shield wires) and a communication wire. OPGW conducts short circuit current and provide lightning resistance as it “shields” conductors, while providing a telecommunications path for internal as well as third party communications. OPGW must be capable of withstanding the mechanical and environmental stresses inflicted on overhead cables (such those caused by wind or ice). OPGW must also be capable of handling electrical faults on the transmission line by providing a path to ground yet preventing damage to the delicate optical fibers inside ...

OPGW cable is suited for installation on new power lines with double function of a ground wire and a communication wire, especially for installation on normal voltage and extra high voltage power lines. OPGW can replace conventional ground wire of old power lines with increasing fiber communications functions. OPGW cables conduct short circuit current and provide lighting resistance.
Construction
OPGW cable has two constructions:
Central loose tube type---The fibers are placed loosely in a sealed and water resistant central, stainless steel tube filled with water blocking gel. This tube provides protection to the fiber during installation and operation ...
