Due to the sensitive fiber optic core, installing OPGW requires specialized equipment that can handle the cable with extreme care to prevent damage. Standard overhead line equipment is often unsuitable. Key equipment includes:

• Hydraulic Pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners with Precise Controls: OPGW must be installed using the controlled tension method. Our hydraulic pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners are equipped with advanced systems to maintain constant tension and speed, preventing excessive sag or stress on the cable, which could damage the optical fibers.

• Specialized Stringing Blocks (Sheaves): OPGW Stringing Blocks are designed with a larger diameter and often have neoprene or similar smooth, non-abrasive linings. This prevents the outer strands from being damaged or the cable from deforming as it passes through the blocks during stringing.

• Anti-Twist Devices: These are crucial accessories that connect the pulling rope to the OPGW. They are designed to prevent the cable from twisting during the pull, which could cause a "birdcaging" effect and put dangerous strain on the fiber optic core.

We provide a complete range of Overhead Transmission line equipment specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of OPGW installation, ensuring the integrity of the cable and the optical fibers within.
