Articulated Chain Type Running Board for Fiber Optic Cable

Articulated Chain Type Running Board: Flexible Protection for Optical Fiber cable stringing

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we understand that overhead optical fiber cable installation, particularly for sensitive OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) and ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cables, demands not only protection but also adaptability to varying terrain and stringing conditions. Traditional rigid running boards may not always provide optimal contact and guidance, especially when navigating complex contours or during multi-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Stringing-Equipment.html target='_blank'>conductor stringing. Our Articulated Chain Type Running Board for Fiber Optic Cable (also known as a "chain type Running board") is a highly innovative tool meticulously engineered to provide flexible, continuous, and comprehensive support specifically "for optical fiber cable." This running board's unique segmented design ensures that the fiber optic cable is protected and guided smoothly across OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks and other suspension points, significantly minimizing friction and preventing localized stress or damage. As a prominent China manufacturer and exporter specializing in comprehensive one-stop supply for both overhead transmission line (OHTL) wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment and underground cable laying equipment, this articulated chain type running board exemplifies our unwavering commitment to providing innovative, durable, and highly effective tools that ensure the long-term reliability and performance of your crucial fiber optic infrastructure.

The Articulated Chain Type Running Board distinguishes itself with its "chain type" construction, comprising multiple interconnected segments or rollers. This design allows the running board to flex and conform to the contours of Stringing Blocks and the cable path, ensuring continuous contact and even distribution of pressure along the cable's length. Each segment typically incorporates smooth, low-friction rollers or polished surfaces made from materials (e.g., durable polymers, aluminum) that are specifically chosen to be gentle on fiber optic cable jackets. This articulation prevents kinking and localized stress points that can arise with rigid boards, especially when the cable changes direction or encounters uneven surfaces within the block. It effectively acts as a flexible bridge between the pulling line (pilot wire or synthetic rope) and the optical fiber cable, ensuring that pulling forces are transmitted uniformly and the delicate cable is guided seamlessly into position without direct abrasion or damage. By utilizing Ningbo Changshi's Articulated Chain Type Running Board, you guarantee the safe, damage-free, and highly adaptable deployment of your valuable fiber optic cables, optimizing efficiency and safeguarding your investment.

Product Features & Benefits:

• Flexible Articulated Design: "Chain type" construction with multiple interconnected segments allows the running board to flex and conform to stringing block contours, ensuring continuous, even support and preventing kinking or localized stress on optic cables.

• Optimal Fiber Optic Protection: Features smooth, low-friction rollers or contact surfaces made from non-abrasive materials (e.g., high-density nylon, polyurethane, polished aluminum) to protect delicate OPGW and ADSS cable jackets from abrasion and damage.

• Smooth & Continuous Cable Passage: Facilitates seamless and controlled movement of the fiber optic cable across various stringing blocks and supports, reducing friction and enhancing efficiency.

• Even Tension Distribution: Effectively acts as an elongated, flexible interface between the pulling line and the optical fiber cable, distributing pulling forces uniformly along the cable's length.

• High Strength & Durability: Constructed from robust, corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., galvanized steel linkages, durable aluminum/polymer rollers) ensuring long operational life in demanding outdoor environments.

• Adaptable to Various Terrains: Its flexible nature makes it particularly advantageous for stringing in challenging, undulating terrains where rigid running boards might cause issues.

• Easy Attachment & Maneuverability: Designed for quick and secure attachment to the pilot line and compatible Swivels, while its flexible nature aids in handling and deployment.

• Minimizes Costly Rework: By preventing cable damage, it reduces the need for expensive repairs, re-splicing, or re-stringing, saving valuable time and resources.

• Enhances Overall Installation Quality: Contributes to a higher quality installation by ensuring the fiber optic cable remains intact and undamaged throughout the stringing process.

Product Applications:

Our Articulated Chain Type Running Board for Fiber Optic Cable is an indispensable tool for safe and efficient installation of overhead fiber optic cables, especially in complex scenarios:

• OPGW cable stringing: Ideal for guiding Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) smoothly over various stringing blocks and through tension zones, particularly where flexibility is an advantage.

• ADSS cable installation: Crucial for protecting All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) cables as they are pulled across spans and guided into suspension points, ensuring uniform support.

• Multi-Conductor/Cable Stringing: Can be utilized in systems where multiple cables or conductors are being strung simultaneously, providing adaptable support.

• Overhead Fiber Optic Network Expansion: Employed in any project involving the aerial deployment of fiber optic communication cables on new or existing power line infrastructure.

• Challenging Terrain Stringing: Particularly valuable in mountainous or uneven terrains where a rigid running board might not provide continuous, optimal contact.

• Complex Route Navigation: Ensures controlled guidance of fiber optic cables around curves or through intricate pathways.

• Any Project Requiring Flexible Cable Protection: Applicable wherever sensitive fiber optic cables need continuous, flexible support and protection during pulling.

Technical Data Sheet (Example Specifications - please refer to specific model for exact data):

Note: It is crucial to select the correct chain type running board size that is compatible with the outer diameter of the optical fiber cable being installed. Ensure the running board's Safe Working Load (SWL) meets or exceeds the expected pulling tension. Regularly inspect the links and rollers for wear or damage before each use. Please contact us for detailed datasheets for specific models and their exact specifications, compatible cable diameters, and load capacities.
