"OPGW dead-end clamp installation tools" are specialized implements for securely terminating OPGW at anchor or tension towers:

• Precision Application: These tools ensure the precise and even application of pre-formed helical dead-end grips or compression dead-end clamps onto the OPGW. Improper application can cause localized stress, fiber damage, or even catastrophic mechanical failure.

• Fiber Protection: Unlike conventional conductor tools that might rely on aggressive gripping, OPGW tools prioritize distributed pressure and gentle handling to prevent crushing the delicate optical tubes within the OPGW.

• Specific Designs: Tools may include specialized wrenches, hydraulic crimpers with custom dies for specific OPGW sizes, or winding tools for pre-formed dead-ends that ensure proper helix formation without deforming the cable.

Their distinction lies in their meticulous design to preserve the OPGW's structural integrity and optical performance at its most critical termination points.
