OPGW Optical Cable Stranding Principle

Home / OPGW Optical Cable Stranding Principle

The Stranded Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) is stranded by double or three layers of aluminum clad steel wires (ACS) or mix ACS wires and aluminum alloy wires. Overwhelmingly most commonly used fiber type! As a pulse travels down a fiber, dispersion causes pulse spreading. Mature OPGW optical cable stranding technology The key to the OPGW optical cable stranding process lies in the control of armored monofilament pay-off tension, pre-forming, mold, stranding speed, and inner and outer layer pitch. Furthermore this specification contains information concerning the quality assurance during manufacturing, the final accepta ce tests.

OPGW

OPGW cables combine the functions of grounding and communication, with a optical fibers in the middle of the conductive cable. OPGW cables are installed on transmission and distribution power lines,
