OPGW stands for Optical Ground Wire. It is a dual-purpose cable that combines the functions of a traditional overhead ground wire with the added capability of an optical fiber cable for telecommunications.

Stringing OPGW requires a more careful approach and specialized equipment due to the sensitive nature of the fiber optic core. While standard hydraulic puller-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners are often used, they must be equipped with features that allow for extremely precise tension and speed control. Additionally, OPGW OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks have sheaves with special linings to ensure no crushing or damage occurs to the cable's surface. A key difference is the need for puller-Tensioners that can handle the OPGW's specific pulling parameters to avoid exceeding its maximum pulling tension and bending radius limits. Our OPGW stringing equipment is specifically designed to meet these stringent requirements, providing a safe and reliable solution for this high-value application.
