3. WHAT ?
 Optical fiber ground wire
WHERE ?
 On transmission lines at the top of the
towers
 On new transmission lines or existing lines
FUNCTIONS:
 OPGW can perform both the function of
ground wire and telecommunication.

6. OPGW: SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY

7. OPGW: DEAD END ASSEMBLY

8. FIBER OPTIC: VIBRATION DAMPER

9. OPGW: SPLICE ENCLOSURE

10. OPGW: JOINT BOX MOUNTING

11. HELICAL WIRE: ARRANGEMENT
 Low unit compression stress as it is distributed over longer length.
 Prevent damage to sensitive fibers.
 In case of bolted type clamps, fiber may get damaged by
concentrated clamping stresses.

12. HELICAL WIRE: ADVANTAGES
 Dismantled easily
 Easy and quick installation
 Savings on cables and jointing boxes
 Long experience on this technology
 Process and testing technology
 No special training tools required

13. FIBER OPTIC: DOWNLEAD CLAMPS

14. FIBER OPTIC: SHEATH STRIPPER
 Provide tight structure fiber
units.
 Allow easy removal of the
overall unit sheath.
 Access to the enclosed fibers.

15. OPGW: TRANSMISSION LINE LAYOUT

16. OPGW: LIVE LINE INSTALLATION
SITE PICTURE: AIZAWL, MIZORAM

17. ADSS CABLE: SECTIONAL VIEW

18. ADSS
 ADSS is a self-supporting optical fiber cable.
 It has no metal component and can be installed on live lines with no outages.
Area of Application
 On Power Lines
 On Street Light Pole
 From Pole to building
Engineering Support
 Based on our detailed survey of site condition1s, we supply an optimal choice of ADSS
cable with other accessories.
