CentraCore. CentraCore Optical Ground Wire, OPT-GW Cable
CentraCore Optical Ground Wire is available in fiber counts up to
72, and due to its small size, offers a unique solution to the
diameter and weight concerns on many of today’s overloaded towers. A
central stainless steel tube houses the optical fibers. The stainless
steel tube is then inserted into an aluminum pipe which provides added
crush protection while increasing the conductivity. The fibers are
protected from environmental conditions (lightning, short circuit,
loading) to ensure reliability and longevity.
Features:
• Fiber counts up to 72
• Very small diameter, low weight
• Central tube provides mechanical and thermal protection for
optical fibers
• Excellent crush resistance and high fault current rating
capability
• Unique designs have maximum allowable tension to control fiber
strain
• Stranded wires selected to optimize mechanical and electrical
properties of cable
