OPGW CABLE & SYSTEM INFORMATION GUIDE FOR HARDWARE SELECTION
The following outline describes the OPGW cable information required to select proper cable attachment hardware and accessories. Most of the cable information can be found in the cable specification — it is recommended that this information be gathered along with the information about the cable system. Please submit this information to Anhui Electric Group to verify proper application.
Cable Information Required for Dead-Ends and Suspensions
CABLE SPECIFICATIONS/Cable Specification Sheet Data
Cable Diameter: Overall outer diameter of the OPGW.
Cable Construction Strand Configuration: Lay Direction of outer wire strands, Distribution and Location of individual strand materials in a cross-section, Number of strand layers.

HARDWARE TESTS
The IEEE 1138 Test Standard for OPGW includes a series of tests that require suitable hardware to demonstrate system performance. System tests include Tensile Strength, Vibration Test, and Galloping Tests among others. System tests require dead-ends and suspensions that can survive the test parameters and prove cable/hardware compatibility.
