"Digital dynamometers" and "wireless tension links" are indispensable "OPGW Stringing Tools" for accurate and safe tension management:

• Real-time Feedback: These tools provide instant, highly accurate digital readouts of the pulling or tensioning force applied to the OPGW.

• Fiber Protection: Since OPGW has strict maximum tension limits, continuous monitoring prevents over-tensioning that could damage the delicate optical fibers or outer metallic layers. Many units can be integrated with puller-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners to trigger alarms or even automatic shutdowns if tension exceeds pre-set limits.

• Sag Control: Precise tension readings are directly correlated to the OPGW's sag, allowing operators to achieve the exact sag specifications required for clearances and optimal electrical/optical performance.

• Data Logging: Many models can log tension data, providing invaluable records for quality assurance, troubleshooting, and project documentation.

They are critical for ensuring the OPGW is installed to exact specifications without compromising its integrity.
