Fiber Optic Cable - Optical Ground Wire
(OPT-GW) Cable
Optical Ground Wire (OPT-GW) is a dual functioning cable that
performs the duties of a ground wire - also known as static wire -
while providing a path for the transmission of voice, video or data
signals by incorporating optical fibers into the design of the cable.
The OPT-GW is ideal for voice, data and video communications and
integrates easily into new and established high voltage systems.
OPT-GW is placed at the highest point on power utility structures,
allowing for fast, cost-effective installations and extraordinary
reliability.
AlumaCore OPT-GW Cable
AlumaCore Optical Ground Wire is preferred for its performance under
the most rugged conditions. Its central aluminum pipe provides superb
fiber protection making it ideal for everything from basic
installations to those applications requiring high tensions or for
extremely long spans.
CentraCore 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.
HexaCore OPT-GW Cable
HexaCore Optical Ground Wire cable houses and protects the optical
fibers within gel-filled stainless steel tubes. Aluminum clad steel and
aluminum alloy wires are stranded with the tubes to create a dual-layer
design suitable for a variety of applications.
Slotted Core OPT-GW Cable
A highly reliable product at an exceptional value, Slotted Core
Optical Ground Wire is a versatile design suitable for applications
ranging from low fiber count, small diameter requirements to high fault
current, long span installations.
Stainless Steel Fiber Optic Tubes
As the inventor and owner of the technology for placing optical fibers
into stainless steel tubes. Each tube is flooded with a thixotropic
filling compound and hermetically sealed to protect the enclosed fibers
from environmental degradation. The stainless steel tubes are suitable
for use as a component in aerial applications such as Optical Ground
Wire, for buried applications, and for special oil and gas applications.
The most common sizes and fiber counts are shown below as the standard
offering. For custom sizes, fiber counts or application information,
contact customer service.
