  • Tension Tower OPGW Optical Cable

    Tension Tower OPGW Optical Cable

    Since the overall dimensions and weight of an OPGW is similar to the regular grounding wire, the towers supporting the line do not experience extra loading due to cable weight, wind and ice loads. An alternative to OPGW is use of the power cables to support a separately-installed fiber bundle.OverviewAn optical ground wire (also known as an OPGW or, in the IEEE standard, an optical fiber composite ) is a type of cable that is used in. Such cable combines the functions of. An OPGW cable was patented by BICC in 1977 and installation of optical ground wires became widespread starting in the 1980s.
