Precision Optic Cable Tension Releasing Device: Controlled Descent for Sensitive Fiber Optics

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we understand that the safe and controlled handling of sensitive optic cables, such as OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) and ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting), is paramount not only during installation but also during removal, adjustment, or lowering operations. Excessive tension release or uncontrolled descent can cause irreversible damage to the delicate fiber cores. Our Precision Optic Cable Tension Releasing Device is a specialized "cable OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner" meticulously engineered to "use for optic cable tension releasing," ensuring a smooth, gradual, and controlled descent or slackening of these vital communication lines. 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 precision tension releasing device exemplifies our unwavering commitment to providing innovative, durable, and highly effective solutions that safeguard the integrity and longevity of your critical fiber optic infrastructure.

Unlike a typical hydraulic Tensioner that applies back tension for stringing, this specialized device is designed to precisely manage and release tension in a controlled manner. Whether it's for lowering a section of OPGW, adjusting the sag of an ADSS cable, or completely removing a fiber optic cable from a span, our Precision Optic Cable Tension Releasing Device provides the necessary hydraulic or mechanical braking system to control the cable's movement. It prevents sudden drops, jerking, or uncontrolled free-spooling that could damage the sensitive outer jacket or internal fibers. The core of this device lies in its ability to offer a variable and finely adjustable resistance as the cable is paid out, ensuring the tension is released smoothly and consistently. Often featuring precision-machined capstan wheels or bull-wheels with non-abrasive linings, it grips the cable securely yet gently. By utilizing Ningbo Changshi's Precision Optic Cable Tension Releasing Device, you ensure that any operation involving the reduction or removal of tension from overhead fiber optic cables is performed with the highest degree of safety, precision, and care, protecting your valuable assets.

Product Features & Benefits:

  • Controlled Tension Release: Engineered specifically to manage and release tension from optic cables with precise control, preventing uncontrolled descent, sudden drops, or damaging jerks.

  • Optic Cable Protection: Features specialized capstan or bull-wheels with non-abrasive, high-friction linings (e.g., nylon, polyurethane) that grip the cable securely without damaging the delicate outer jacket or internal fibers of OPGW and ADSS.

  • Variable Resistance System: Incorporates advanced braking mechanisms (hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes) that allow for finely adjustable resistance, ensuring a smooth and consistent cable payout during lowering or slackening.

  • Enhanced Safety: Designed with robust safety features, including manual or automatic braking systems to immediately stop cable movement in emergencies, protecting both personnel and equipment.

  • Versatile Application: Ideal for lowering optic cables from heights, adjusting sag, performing mid-span repairs, or safely removing entire sections of OPGW/ADSS.

  • Durable & Reliable Construction: Built with high-strength materials and precision components to withstand the rigors of field operations, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

  • User-Friendly Operation: Ergonomic design with intuitive controls for easy setup and operation, allowing field crews to manage tension release efficiently.

  • Compact & Portable (depending on capacity): Many models are designed for portability and easy deployment in various work environments.

Product Applications:

Our Precision Optic Cable Tension Releasing Device is crucial for specialized operations involving overhead fiber optic cables:

  • OPGW & ADSS Cable Lowering: Safely controls the descent of fiber optic cables during planned de-stringing or adjustment operations.

  • Sag Adjustment for Optic Cables: Allows for controlled slackening of cables to achieve desired sag parameters without overstressing the fibers.

  • Mid-Span Repair & Maintenance: Essential for releasing tension in a controlled manner to facilitate repairs or maintenance on a specific section of optic cable.

  • Conductor/Earthwire Replacement with Integrated OPGW: Used when replacing an existing earthwire that has an integrated OPGW cable, ensuring its careful removal.

  • De-stringing Operations: Provides controlled tension release when completely removing OPGW or ADSS cables from a line.

  • Any Operation Requiring Controlled Slackening: Applicable wherever precise and gradual reduction of tension in sensitive cables is required.
