UnitekFiber's 12 cores OPGW Fiber Optic Ground Wire is engineered for 35kV, 110kV, 220kV, 500kV, 750kV or more overhead high voltage transmission systems, combining reliable communication and overhead grounding. Featuring a stainless steel central loose tube, the OPGW fiber optic cable ensures robust protection for the enclosed fibers. Inside, premium G655D single-mode fibers deliver exceptional transmission performance, ideal for high-speed, long-distance signals. Encased in an aluminum-clad steel wire outer sheath, the cable balances strength and lightweight design, with a small cable diameter that simplifies installation. Specifically designed for overhead mounting, it withstands harsh outdoor conditions, making it a trusted choice for power grid communication infrastructure.
OPGW cable features 24 cores of single-mode (SM) optical fibers. The fibers adhere to the G652D standard, which is widely used for long-distance communication due to its low attenuation and compatibility with various transmission systems.
The aluminum tube jacket serves as a robust protective layer. It shields the optical fibers from mechanical damage, moisture, and environmental stress (such as temperature fluctuations). Additionally, aluminum provides good electrical conductivity, enhancing the cable's grounding performance in 110kV applications.
Yes, this cable is engineered for 110kV power lines, with specifications optimized for the electrical and mechanical demands of this voltage class. While it may not be suitable for significantly higher voltages (e.g., 220kV or 500kV) without modifications, it could potentially be adapted for lower voltages, though it’s best to consult technical guidelines for specific applications.
Yes, the 24 individual cores allow for parallel transmission of multiple signals. Each core can carry separate data streams (e.g., telemetry, SCADA, voice, or video), enabling versatile communication within the power grid without interference between cores.
Single-mode G652D fibers offer several benefits: they support higher bandwidth over longer distances compared to multi-mode fibers, have lower signal loss (attenuation), and are compatible with most modern optical communication equipment. This makes them ideal for transmitting data, voice, and control signals across power grids.
We installed this 24core OPGW cable during a 110kV grid upgrade last year, and it’s been exceptional. The aluminum tube jacket held up perfectly through heavy rain and extreme temperature swings. The G652D fibers deliver consistent signal quality—our SCADA and telemetry systems run flawlessly.
Solid OPGW cable for 110kV grids. Aluminum jacket handles bad weather, 24 cores keep signals steady. Great for grounding and communication，no complaints.
Perfect for wind farm 110kV links. 24 cores carry turbine data and grid signals. Stands up to vibration and weather, no moisture problems.
Fits tight urban substations. G652D fibers work with our 10Gbps gear, aluminum tube balances rigidity and flexibility. Smart space-save.
15km test: attenuation under 0.3dB/km, 24 cores all good. Aluminum jacket keeps signals stable in temperature swings, top for long hauls.
