Bolted Dead End
The Dead End is a full tension termination for Optical Ground Wire
cable. Breakaway head bolts are used to apply a precise gripping force
to hold the cable without affecting optical fiber performance. The
Dead End is designed to maximize performance and minimize installation
costs.
Features: • Performance: Sustained load equivalent to 95% of cable
RBS
• Ultimate mechanical strength of dead end components: 40,000 lbs.
• Meets IEEE1138 Vibration/Galloping tests
• Break-away bolts ensure proper installation torque while
eliminating the need for specialized torque wrenches
• Optional Cable Guide (recommended) to train OPT-GW down or around
structure
• Drilled and tapped for grounding lug, thereby eliminating
additional accessories for electrical bonding
• Shorter than formed wire dead ends, allowing installation from the
support structure
• Faster installation than competitive designs, reducing
installation costs
• Optional link plate available for extension from structures
