    OPGW Datasheet NEXAN

    Uploaded by

    Carlos L. Oyuela
    The OPGW provides both electrical and optical fiber capabilities. It functions as a standard ground wire while also incorporating optical fibers to provide high transmission capacity for data and communications. The steel tube design protects the fibers and is similar to a standard ground wire. OPGW is manufactured by Nexans Norway, which has experience designing armored cables like submarine cables.

    OPGW - Optical Ground Wires

    Page 1 of 2

    OPtical Ground Wire provides two products in one design. The OPGW will function as a
    ground wire providing the normal electrical function identical to that of a standard ground wire
    used on overhead transmission lines. By incorporating fibres, the OPGW can also provide
    extremely large transmission capacity for data and communications requirements. This
    capability is enhanced by the special design based on the steel tube providing unparalleled
    protection for the fibres and marginal difference compared to the standard electrical ground
    wire. The steel tube design has been selected as a development from the older aluminium
    based slotted core and tube designs.
    OPGW is manufactured by Nexans Norway AS, a special cable manufacturer within the
    Nexans company, with long experience in all types of armoured cable designs. The long
    experience acquired through decades of advanced cable development and manufacturing,
    including submarine, ROV and seismic cables, has provided the company with a technical
    knowledge which ensures high quality product incorporating the latest technologies such as the
    capability of manufacturing very long lengths of steel tubes.

    Cable Design

    General Design
    If the OPGW has only one
    stranded layer of wires then
    the fibre optic element will be
    situated in the center, and
    ACS or steel wires stranded
    around it. In the case of a 2 or
    3 layer OPGW, the wires may
    be a mixture of ACS, zinccoated steel and aluminium
    alloy, and fibre optic elements
    are situated in one of the
    inner stranded layers.

    Electrical and mechanical


    characteristics
    A tradeoff has to be made
    between ohmic resistance,
    tensile strength and weight of
    the OPGW. There will be a
    large portion of steel when
    tensile strength is important
    whereas the lions share will
    be aluminium if conductivity
    has highest priority.

    Optical characteristics
    An OPGW typically consists
    of 24 - 144 fibres inside 1 - 3
    laser welded steel tubes.
    Fibres are normally G652 or
    G655, and all fibres inside a
    steel tube has unique
    identification.
