Fiber Optic Cable

Renewables Optimized OPGW

Renewable energy initiatives such as wind and solar farms have become
a routine part of the new global energy business. Like most traditional
transmission line projects, Optical Ground Wire is a key component in
the planned power grid. Typical renewable applications require smaller,
lighter-weight cables that can be delivered with minimal delay. In
response to the needs of this market, AFL has optimized a select group of
its Optical Ground Wire family specifically for these renewable applications.
These designs take advantage of CentraCore’s compact and robust design
features—48 single-mode fibers are protected by a gel-filled, laser-welded
stainless steel tube, central Aluminum pipe and stranded outer wires. Refer
to all of the features of CentraCore OPGW cable.
