Prysmian and Draka Cable StrandCore OPGW Stranded tube cable

Product Details

Overview: Prysmian’s StrandCore™ 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 one or more loose buffer tubes allowing the fibers to be free from strain even at highest designed operating load.

Applications: Prysmian’s StrandCore™ OPGW allows cable elongation and sag to be increased without inducing fiber strain. It is best suited for applications with modest electrical requirements. Because StrandCore™ OPGW contains exposed elements made of both stainless steel and aluminum, it should not be used in high corrosion areas. 

Construction: Single or double armor layers, 

Options: right or left-hand stranding lays (on single armor), aluminum-alloy and aluminum-clad, steel strand wires

Fiber Count: up to 96 fibers in buffer tubes

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: CladCore™, PureCore™

Registered: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and TL 9000

Features and Benefits

Stranded Stainless Steel Tube
- Wire strands are replaced with fiber-filled stainless steel tubes 
- Fiber tubes are helically stranded along side the wires v - Fiber strain margin is increased relative to core tube designs 
- Loaded sag can be increased without inducing fiber strain 

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
