All information you should know for an OPGW Fiber

By /

In this post, we will list all common questions about an OPGW fiber , which will make you have a better understanding of what an OPGW fiber is.OPGW fiber

1. what is an OPGW Fiber

there is an opitcal unit stranded together with a traditional grounding wire, and the optical unit used to house optical fiber in different counts, based on the requirement of each power transmission or distribution lines. this means an OPGW fiber has double functions for using as a traditional grounding wire and for optical fiber transmission.

2.What types of fibre are used in OPGW fiber?

most customers choosed to use single mode G.652 category D, while few customers selected to use G.655, according to standard of ITU-T; And fiber counts ranging from 12 to 288 and color code of these optical fibers is accordance with standard of EIA/TIA 598 latest version.

3. What are the different types of OPGW fiber?

Normally, it has three main types of OPGW fiber; they stainless steel tube OPGW fiber, aluminum tube OPGW fiber and Aluminum cladding stainless steel tube OPGW fiber; some OPGW fiber manufacturers proposed a tight design of OPGW fiber for a better lighting resistance, mainly used in heavy NESC areas.

4. What is the lifespan of OPGW fiber ?
In theory, it has over 50 years; most OPGW fiber manufacturers proposed & guarantteed for 30 years.
5. What are the IEC standards for OPGW Fiber?
IEC 60793 for optical fibers;
IEC60794-4-10 for Aerial optical cables along electrical power lines;
IEC61232 Aluminum -clad steel wire for electrical purposes;
IEC 60104 Aluminum magnesium-silicon alloy wire for overhead line conductors;
IEC 61089 Roundwireconcentriclayoverheadelectricalstrandedconductors etc.
