Prysmian and Draka Cable CladCore OPGW Aluminum clad stainless steel central tube cable

Product Details

Overview: Prysmian’s CladCore™ OPGW cables are typically customdesigned to best match the optical, electrical, mechanical, quality and cost requirements of each individual project. This includes optimizing diameter, weight, breaking strength and short circuit capacity. However, some “REFERENCE DESIGNS” are presented here. The core consists of optical fibers contained in loose buffer tube allowing the fibers to be free from strain even at highest designed operating load. Where there is high contamination or close proximity to the ocean, Prysmian recommends a grease coating on the outer armor layer.

Applications: Prysmian’s CladCore™ OPGW provides a compact design without sacrificing corrosion resistance. It is best suited to applications with moderate to low span and electrical requirements.

Construction: Single or double armor layers,

Options: right or left-hand stranding lays (on single armor)

Fiber Count: up to 48 fibers in a buffer tube

Fiber Types: Single-mode (ESMF, bend-insensitive), Corning optical fiber

Performance: Meets or exceeds IEEE-1138-2009, tested in accordance with relevant EIA-455 FOTPs for fiber optic cables

Other Versions: StrandCore™, PureCore™

Registered: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and TL 9000

Features and Benefits 

Aluminum-Clad Stainless Steel Core Tube
- High crush resistance in a small form-factor 

Superior Corrosion Resistance 
- Dissimilar metals are prevented from reacting with one another 
- Provides performance similar to stainless steel central tube, without the risk of galvanic corrosion 
- Meets IEEE construction guidelines for use in high corrosion sites

 Enhanced Electrical Performance 
- Use of aluminum alloy wires can be decreased 
- Replacement with ACS wires improves lightning resistance

Compact Design 
- Reduced weight 
- Increased flexibility 
- Smaller minimum bend radius 
- Easier to handle and install 
- Lower wind and ice loads put less load on structures
