Product Description
Heavy Duty OPGW Mesh Sock Joints for High Tension Stringing and Dead Ending of OPGW Conductors
OPGW Mesh Sock Joints are highly specialized, critical installation tools designed explicitly for the safe, secure, and non-damaging handling, tensioning, and pulling of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) cables. OPGW is a dual-function cable, serving as both the ground wire for electrical transmission lines and the protective housing for vital fiber optic communication strands. Its complex, layered structure, with fragile glass fibers at its core, demands extreme care during installation.
Product Specifications
| Item NO. | Model | Applicable Optical Cable Diameter (mm) | Rated Load (KN) | Length (m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17141 | 17141S | Φ7-11 | 10 | 1.4 |
| 17142 | 17142S | Φ11-15 | 15 | 1.4 |
| 17143 | 17143S | Φ15-17 | 20 | 1.4 |
| 17144 | 17144S | Φ17-22 | 25 | 1.4 |
The OPGW mesh sock is a flexible, tubular sleeve woven from high-tensile stainless steel wires. It is engineered to slip over the prepared OPGW cable end and, when its ends are compressed with specialized ferrules, contracts radially to create an immensely strong, distributed grip. Crucially, this grip is applied to the cable's robust outer strength members and transfers pulling force directly to them, completely bypassing and protecting the delicate internal optical fiber units. This is the only safe and accepted method for applying high tension to OPGW during stringing, dead-ending, or pulling operations.
Key Features and Benefits
- Protects Delicate Internal Optical Fibers: Safeguards fragile glass fibers from crushing and micro-bending, ensuring zero compressive force reaches the sensitive optical core and preserving signal integrity.
- Secure High-Strength Grip: Provides exceptional mechanical bond with OPGW strength members, reliably exceeding installation tension requirements and preventing slippage.
- Essential for Pulling Eyes: Forms integrated, streamlined loops that pass cleanly through stringing blocks and tensioners for smooth, continuous pulls.
- Industry Standard Installation: Universal best practice mandated by OPGW manufacturers for professional installation and warranty validation.
- Prevents Outer Layer Damage: Even pressure distribution prevents gouging, notching, or deformation of aluminum or aluminum-clad steel outer layers.
- Facilitates Long-Distance Stringing: Engineered for modern tension stringing methods, enabling long continuous pulls that reduce set-ups and accelerate project timelines.
- Durable and Reusable: Constructed from 300-series stainless steel to withstand harsh field conditions, with robust design allowing multiple reuses.
- Ensures Manufacturer Compliance: Certified method to ensure strict pulling tension and bending radius limits are not exceeded in the field.
- Maintains Grid Reliability: Critical for protecting fiber optics that carry protection relaying signals, grid management data, and SCADA communications.
- Foundational Infrastructure Investment: Cost-effective tool that protects valuable OPGW cable investments and ensures long-term, trouble-free service.
In summary, the OPGW Mesh Sock Joint is an indispensable engineered solution that resolves the fundamental challenge of installing strong yet internally fragile cables. It acts as the perfect interface between installation force and delicate technology, guaranteeing that vital dual-role OPGW cables are installed to their full performance potential for reliable electrical grid and communication network operation throughout their service life.
