Overhead Ground OPGW 12 16 24 32 36 48 Core OPGW Power Cable de fibra óptica

OPGW is a type of composite cable structure for power transmission, combining optical transmission and overhead ground wires. It functions in power transmission lines as both an optical fiber and an overhead ground wire, providing lightning protection and short-circuit current conduction. OPGW consists of a stainless steel tube optical unit, aluminum-clad steel wire, and aluminum alloy wire. It features a stainless steel tube core and a layered braided structure. We can design the structure according to different environmental conditions and customer requirements.

1. Up to 144 fibers
2. The cable's diameter and weight are approximated by another ground cable. Less additional load on the tower, high tensile strength.
3. The excellent stainless steel tube braiding technology gives the fibers a good secondary length excess and allows the fibers
Free movement within the tube. This keeps the fiber free from tension while the cable is subjected to longitudinal tension.
4. The optical fibers are protected by stainless steel tubes.
5. Excellent security, good bullet resistance performance.
6. The ACSW, AAW, and SST braided design provides a combination of wide electrical conductivity range and mechanical tensile strength

Optical fiber composite ground wire [OPGW] is suitable for installation on new power lines with double function of ground wire and communication. Especially for installation on normal voitage and extra high voltage power lines.

 OPGW can replace conventional ground wire of old power line with increasing fiber communication function. They conduct short circuit current and provide lightning resistance.
