FIBER OPTIC PROTECTION CONDUCTOR (OPGW-95) (G-652-D)

Definition of OPGW

OPGW (optical ground wire) is a type of conductor used in electrical transmission lines, protecting phase conductors against lightning strikes and acting as a protective conductor. This conductor combines grounding and communication functions. The 95 mm² OPGW conductor is a steel tube with optical fibers inside, wrapped with aluminum clad and aluminum alloy wire layers. The stainless steel tube is filled with thixotropic gel to prevent damage to the fiber optics inside during installation and operation.

Fiber Optics

The fiber optics in OPGW are designed and manufactured to provide the most suitable transmission. These fibers are primarily used in communication networks due to their long distance connections and high capacity features.
