Frequently Asked Questions

Installation of AFL AlumaCore OPGW is very similar to the process used to install conductors, although care must be taken to use the proper sheave or pulley sizes so as not to cause damage or crush the cable. After installation, when the cable is ready to be spliced, the wires are cut away exposing the central aluminum pipe which can easily be ring-cut with a pipe cutting tool.

AFL AlumaCore OPGW can be used by electric utilities on transmission lines in lieu of traditional shield wire, for retrofit applications where existing shield wire needs to be replaced with OPGW, for new transmission lines in lieu of traditional shield wire, voice, video, data transmission, and SCADA networks.

AFL AlumaCore OPGW is preferred for its central aluminum pipe and color-coded fiber optic buffer tubes which simplify the splicing process while providing optimum fiber protection as well as long term product reliability. It also has a thick-walled aluminum pipe that provides excellent crush resistance, hermetically sealed pipe that protects optical fibers, and outer wire strands selected to optimize mechanical and electrical properties.

AFL AlumaCore OPGW has dielectric color-coded optical sub-units available in fiber counts of 6, 8, 12, 18 and 24. Multiple sub-units combine to achieve fiber counts up to 144.

AFL AlumaCore OPGW is a type of Optical Ground Wire that is designed to replace traditional static/shield/earth wires on overhead transmission lines with the added benefit of containing optical fibers which can be used for telecommunications purposes.
