Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) Outdoor Optical Fibre Cable for Power Line
Product Overview
OPGW cable, or Optical Fiber Composite Overhead Ground Wire, is an innovative product that combines fiber-optic communication technology with traditional transmission lines. It is primarily used in power systems, serving both as a lightning protection and grounding device for power transmission lines and integrating fiber-optic communication capabilities.
Key Features
- Small diameter and lightweight design
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Improved lightning resistance and fault current capacity
- Double tube design enhances resistance to moisture and horizontal fluid penetration
- Suitable for high-voltage lines exceeding 110KV with large spans
- Easy to maintain and install
Construction & Design
The OPGW cable features a central fiber optic unit, typically structured in a layer-stranded or central tube design, which contains fiber bundles responsible for information transmission. Surrounding this unit is aluminum-clad steel wire, providing mechanical strength while also conducting electricity and serving as lightning protection. An outer protective layer, made of aluminum alloy or aluminum-clad steel wire, further enhances the cable's mechanical strength and provides additional protection.
Applications
OPGW cables are used in power communication, grid monitoring, smart grids, and other fields, enhancing the intelligence of power lines and ensuring the safe and stable operation of power systems.
