Fiber Optic Cable - OPT-GW Cable hardware
Offering a complete line of supporting accessories for installing
and maintaining OPT-GW Cable.
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.
Comealong
The OPT-GW Comealong is a temporary grip used during installation,
“dead ending,” and “clipping in” of OPT-GW. The Comealong is also
called a “Pocketbook” or “Butterfly Grip.” The Comealong’s
self-contained compact size is easy to install and remove, and it is
reusable. The Comealong is designed specifically for our OPT-GW cables
and is 100% factory tested to ensure proper cable-specific
performance.
Downlead & Wood Pole Clamps
The Downlead Clamps are used to guide Optical Ground Wire from the
top of the structure to the splice box. Our clamps install easily and
provide proper spacing and hold strength without damage to the cable.
From poles to towers, we offer a full line of OPT-GW Downlead Clamps
to meet the needs of any application.
Mechanical Suspensions - Single & Double
Supporting spans of Optical Ground Wire cable through a wide range
of line angle changes, the unique design of the lightweight Mechanical
Suspension installs easily while supporting vertical, transverse,
longitudinal unbalanced loads and angle pulls without damaging the
cable strands or affecting optical fiber performance. Breakaway bolts
ensure proper installation torque while eliminating the need for
specialized torque wrenches. The assemblies are designed for fast
installation to minimize costs.
Opti-Guard™ Splice Enclosure
The Downlead Clamps are used to guide Optical Ground Wire from the
top of the structure to the splice box. Our clamps install easily and
provide proper spacing and hold strength without damage to the cable.
From poles to towers, we offer a full line of OPT-GW Downlead Clamps
to meet the needs of any application.
Splice Box Enclosure
The SB01 Splice Box Enclosure is used to house optical fibers in a
protective, moisture-free environment. Electrical utilities and
optical cable installers use the splice enclosure for inline splicing
or cable taps. The splice box, circular in shape, made from cast
ductile iron with a galvanized coating, is furnished with four
(2-aluminum, 2- plastic) plugged cable ports and (1) splice tray
capable of storing twelve (12) splices. Additional trays can be
purchased separately. Maximum tray capacity of the enclosure is eight
(8) including a transition tray, if needed.
Sheath Stripper
The rFiber Optic Sheath Stripper is designed to longitudinally score
the tight structure fiber units within certain OPT-GW designs. A
simple pull of the Sheath Stripper along the fiber unit ensures
correct score depth allowing for easy removal of the overall unit
sheath and access to the enclosed fibers. The reusable unit is easy to
maintain and adjust. The kit includes the sheath stripper, replacement
blades, adjustment tool, instructions and fiber unit samples for
practice and blade adjustments.
Stainless Steel Tube Cutter
The Stainless Steel Tube cutter that is used to access the fiber in
our stainless steel tubes. The compact design and hardened steel
blades make this a durable, easy to use tool.
Vibration Damper
Vibration Dampers work to cancel damaging fatigue caused by
wind-induced vibration. Most tuned damping devices, operate best near
their natural frequencies. Vibration dampers are designed for
efficient transfer and dissipation of energy over a wide spectrum of
frequencies. They feature all aluminum clamp construction to match
expansion/contraction of conductor and break-away bolts for easy
installation and proper torque.
