The Versatility of OPGW Cables: 5 Types to Suit Your Power Line Needs

Central Type Stainless Steel Tube OPGW: Complete Fiber Protection

The Central Type Stainless Steel Tube OPGW cable is designed to provide comprehensive protection to the optical fibers used for communication in power line networks. This type of OPGW cable features a hermetically sealed stainless steel tube at its core, which is achieved through seamless welding. Surrounding the central stainless steel tube, there are single or double layers of metal wires, typically made of aluminum clad steel (ACS) or a combination of ACS and aluminum alloy wires.

The stainless steel tube plays a crucial role in safeguarding the optical fibers from both longitudinal and lateral water or moisture ingress. To enhance the cable's resistance to corrosion, the interstices between the stainless steel tube and the metallic wires are filled with anti-corrosive grease. This protective design ensures the OPGW cable's longevity and reliability even in challenging environmental conditions.

Due to its robust structure and ability to shield the fibers effectively, the Central Type Stainless Steel Tube OPGW cable is widely used in overhead high-voltage transmission lines, where it serves the dual purpose of a ground wire and a communication network. Its adaptability and durability make it a popular choice for various power line applications.

Stranded Type Stainless Steel Tube OPGW: Resilience for Common Electric Line Needs

The Stranded Type Stainless Steel Tube OPGW cable is a versatile option that offers resilience to meet the demands of common electric line applications. This type of OPGW cable features a central stainless steel tube, sealed hermetically through seamless welding, which acts as a protective conduit for the optical fibers.

Surrounding the central tube, there are double or triple layers of metal wires, often composed of aluminum clad steel (ACS) wires or a combination of ACS wires and aluminum alloy wires. This stranded design enhances the cable's flexibility and mechanical strength, making it well-suited for withstanding the stresses and strains experienced in typical power line installations.

With the tube filled with water-resistant gel and the interstices between the stainless steel tube and the metal wires filled with anticorrosive grease, the Stranded Type Stainless Steel Tube OPGW cable ensures reliable performance and protection against environmental factors such as moisture and corrosion.

The combination of durability and adaptability makes the Stranded Type Stainless Steel Tube OPGW cable an ideal choice for a wide range of electric line projects, offering stable and secure communication capabilities alongside its primary function as a ground wire.
