InSky OPGW C
Optical Ground Wire Central loose tube (C)
Overview
perfect choice if you are looking for a low weight and a small diameter cable for your fiber optic project or need to replace existing conventional 3/8 inch HS/EHS ground wire. OPGW C manufactured by Incab is a cost-effective solution. It can have up to 96 fibers and is highly corrosion-resistant. Stainless steel tube provides superior protection for the fibers. Small diameters (from 0.315 to 0.709 in) are mechanically and electrically efficient.
All Incab OPGW cables have a proven design life of 50 years. They are a wholesome 3-in-1 solution for the utilities and telecommunication industry being a ground wire that enables efficient power distribution grids, a telecom medium with high-speed optical fiber for data transmission and additionally for power line monitoring. Moreover, they don’t require additional costs when placing fiber optic communication lines on power lines.
