Counterbalance Running Board for Fiber Optic Cable Stringing

Counterbalance Running Board: Essential Protection for Optical Fiber cable stringing

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we understand that the safe and smooth installation of delicate optical fiber cables, such as OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) and ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting), is paramount. During overhead tension stringing, these cables must navigate various obstacles and supports without experiencing kinking, abrasion, or excessive bending, which can severely damage the sensitive internal fibers. Our Counterbalance Running Board for Fiber Optic cable stringing (also known as a "Balance weight type Running board") is a highly specialized tool meticulously engineered to provide a stable, controlled, and protective pathway specifically "for optical fiber cable." This running board ensures smooth passage of the fiber optic cable across OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks and other suspension points, significantly minimizing friction and preventing potential 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 counterbalance 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 Counterbalance Running Board is designed with a unique "balance weight type" mechanism, which often involves a weighted lower section or a pivot system that ensures the board remains stable and correctly aligned as the fiber optic cable passes over it. This prevents tilting or instability that could cause the delicate cable to rub against abrasive surfaces or become misaligned within the stringing block. The running board features smooth, low-friction rollers or polished surfaces made from materials (e.g., aluminum, durable plastics) that are specifically chosen to be gentle on fiber optic cable jackets. It acts as a bridge between the pulling line (often a pilot wire or synthetic rope) and the optical fiber cable, ensuring that the pulling force is distributed evenly and the cable is guided smoothly into position without direct contact with the pulling line or undue stress. By utilizing Ningbo Changshi's Counterbalance Running Board, you guarantee the safe, damage-free, and efficient deployment of your valuable fiber optic cables, safeguarding your investment and ensuring the integrity of your communication network.

Product Features & Benefits:

• Optimal Fiber Optic Protection: Engineered with smooth, non-abrasive contact surfaces and a stable design to prevent kinking, abrasion, or crushing of delicate OPGW and ADSS cable jackets during stringing.

• Balance Weight Stability: The "balance weight type" design ensures the running board remains horizontally stable as the cable passes, preventing tilting and maintaining optimal cable alignment within Stringing Blocks.

• Smooth & Controlled Passage: Equipped with low-friction rollers or polished guides that facilitate the seamless and controlled movement of the fiber optic cable across tension stringing blocks and supports.

• Even Tension Distribution: Acts as an interface between the pulling line and the optical fiber cable, distributing pulling forces uniformly and preventing localized stress on the cable.

• High Strength & Lightweight: Constructed from durable, yet lightweight aluminum alloys or composite materials, offering robust performance without adding excessive weight to the stringing system.

• Corrosion Resistant: Materials and finishes are selected to withstand outdoor exposure and resist corrosion, ensuring long product life and reliable performance in various environments.

• Easy Attachment: Designed with secure attachment points for quick and safe connection to the pilot line and stringing Swivel.

• Reduces Installation Risk: Minimizes the potential for costly cable damage, re-stringing, or re-splicing due to improper handling during installation.

• Enhances Operational Efficiency: Contributes to a faster and smoother stringing process by preventing snags, jams, and damage, leading to more efficient project completion.

Product Applications:

Our Counterbalance Running Board for Fiber Optic Cable Stringing is an indispensable tool for safe and efficient installation of overhead fiber optic cables:

• OPGW Cable Stringing: Essential for guiding Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) smoothly over stringing blocks and through tension zones during installation on transmission towers.

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

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

• Pilot Line Connection: Serves as a secure and protective connection point between the pulling pilot line and the actual fiber optic cable.

• Complex Terrain Stringing: Particularly valuable in challenging terrains where preventing cable damage from ground contact or irregular block movement is critical.

• Substation Entry/Exit Points: Ensures controlled guidance of fiber optic cables at critical transition points.

• Any Project Requiring Controlled Fiber Optic Movement: Applicable wherever sensitive fiber optic cables need to be pulled with minimal friction and maximum protection.

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

Note: It is crucial to select the correct 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 rollers and guides 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.
