Using OPGW provides significant benefits for utility companies. The main advantages are:

• Dual Functionality: It combines lightning protection and data communication into a single cable, reducing infrastructure costs.

• High Reliability: The fiber optic strands are protected within the robust metal-clad ground wire, shielding them from electromagnetic interference and harsh environmental conditions.

• Support for Smart Grids: OPGW enables high-speed communication for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, remote monitoring, and other smart grid applications.

As a leading manufacturer, Ningbo Changshi provides the specialized overhead transmission line equipment and tension stringing equipment required to safely and efficiently install OPGW cables. This ensures the proper tension and secure installation needed to maximize the cable’s performance and longevity.
