Top 3 Accessories To Improve Overhead Power Line Longevity

Vibration damper: For OPGW, vibration damper is the best choice. Vibration damper is used together with armor rod and is made of aluminum alloy to reduce the impact of dispersed breeze vibration on optical cables.

Helical vibration damper is often used for shockproofing ADSS, but it is also suitable in OPGW heavy ice areas. It is made of high quality PVC material, which has excellent characteristics of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and UV resistance. Vibration dampers are widely used in optic fiber and are of great significance.

Insulator tie: Depending on the location of the optical cable, the style of insulator tie used is also different. When the optical cable passes through the optical cable pole, the single side tie is the best choice.

A single top tie is the best choice when the fiber optic cable passes through the top of the fiber optic pole. When there are two insulators at the same time, a double side tie must be used.

Joint box: Joint box is usually used together with cable storage assembly to preserve optical fiber. Plastic Joint boxes are used for ADSS optical cables, and metal Joint boxes are commonly used for OPGW optical cables.
