AFL's HexaCore OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) delivers up to 144 fibers in a compact, high-strength design for overhead power lines. This layered stranded OPGW combines one or more fiber-optic stainless steel units with aluminum-clad steel wires using advanced stranding technology. Beginning with optical ground wire (OPGW), introduced in 1984 as AFL's flagship product, the line now spans to cabling solutions being used in the world's harshest environments, including those above ground, below ground and even. ABPTEL Stranded OPGW uses stainless-steel optical tube (s) stranded with ACS/AA wires to deliver high tensile strength, high fiber capacity, and strong fault-current performance. Ideal for utilities that need reliable SCADA/teleprotection communications while maintaining overhead ground wire. Optical fiber composite overhead ground wire (OPGW) 1. Application OPGW is mainly applied in communication line of newly constructed high voltage transmit electricity system with 35 KV or above, or replacement of existing ground wire of previous overhead high voltage transmit electricity system. ficing corrosion resistance. Because of this, OPGW contains exposed elements made of both.
