OPGW Optical Power Ground Wire Fiber Optic Cable 24 48 Core Single Mode Overhead Power Transmission
OPGW Optical Power Ground Wire Cable for Overhead Power Line Communication
Product Introduction
OPGW (Optical Power Ground Wire) cable integrates optical fiber communication with the grounding function of overhead power transmission lines. Installed at the top of power towers, it acts as both a ground wire and a fiber optic communication medium. With a stainless steel tube structure and aluminum-clad steel wires, OPGW provides strong mechanical strength, reliable fiber protection, and stable data transmission for modern power networks.
Key Features
- Dual function design for grounding and fiber communication
- Stainless steel tube with water-blocking compound for fiber protection
- High tensile strength for long-span overhead installations
- Resistant to lightning, corrosion, and harsh weather
- Supports multiple fiber types and up to 96 cores
Applications
- Overhead high-voltage transmission lines
- Power grid communication systems
- Relay protection and power automation networks
- Smart grid and energy infrastructure projects
- Long-distance power line communication systems
