Introduction
- OPGW series provide entirely new form of telecommunication line that is made up of a ground wire for aerial power lines which contain optical fibers encased in an aluminum tube, stainless steel tube oral covered stainless steel tube. An OPGW combines a ground wire for shielding overhead power transmission line together with optical fibers for transmission of communication signals, and the optical fiber is designed to resist strong winds, lightning and short circuit current.
- The OPGW has been designed to meet ether the “electrical” or the “mechanical” equivalent of conventional ground wire.
Features
- Unaffectedness for electromagnetic interference, large transmission capacity.
- Good resistance to strong winds, lightning and short circuit current.
- High tensile strength design
Applications
- Power line protection system
- Power line operation system
- Maintenance data information system
- Monitoring and controlling electrical power
