2025-07-21
  • "OPGW Stringing Equipment" encompasses a complete suite of machinery, tools, and accessories specifically designed for the delicate and precise installation of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW). This typically includes:

    • Hydraulic Puller-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners: Machines that apply both pulling force and controlled back tension.

    • OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks (Sheaves): Specially designed pulleys that guide the OPGW along the line.

    • Anti-Twist Devices & Swivels: Critical components to prevent torsional stress on the cable.

    • OPGW pulling grips: Connectors that secure the pulling rope to the OPGW without damaging its sensitive core.

    • Reel Stands & Drum Brakes: For controlled payout of the OPGW from the drums.

    • Measuring & Monitoring Devices: Such as dynamometers and sag meters.

  • Specialized equipment is crucial because OPGW integrates delicate fiber optic strands within a metallic conductor. Standard stringing methods and equipment could easily crush, kink, or induce torsional stress on the OPGW, leading to irreversible damage to the optical fibers and communication failure. Our specialized equipment ensures the integrity of both the optical and electrical functions of the OPGW.
