"OPGW grounding accessories" are continuously evolving for enhanced safety and performance:

• Low Resistance Grounding Clamps: Focus on designs that provide extremely low contact resistance for efficient current dissipation, particularly important for lightning strikes. Materials like high-conductivity copper or aluminum alloys are preferred.

• Modular Grounding Kits: Comprehensive kits that include all necessary components (clamps, braids, bonding straps, connection hardware) for complete and reliable grounding at splice points, towers, and equipment.

• Corrosion Resistance: Increased use of highly corrosion-resistant materials and coatings for all grounding components to ensure long-term effectiveness in diverse environmental conditions.

• Ease of Installation: Designs that simplify installation procedures while ensuring secure, high-integrity connections, reducing labor time and potential for installation errors.

• Compliance with Standards: Strict adherence to relevant international grounding and bonding standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC) for reliable lightning protection and fault current handling.

These trends emphasize maximizing safety, reliability, and ease of deployment for the critical grounding function of OPGW.
