OPGW BROCHURE - Sterlite

Sterlite AERIAL-LITE OPGW Cable Series
High Strength Design
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Al Alloy Wires
Steel Tube With Fibers
ACS Wires
Sterlite AERIAL-LITE high strength OPGW cable is available up to 96 fibers making it suitable for applications that require high fiber count and superhigh-voltage
power lines. Steel tubes are stranded with high strain steel wires to create a dual-layer design suitable for a range of high strength
applications. The layer of aluminum gives this product a high fault rating current values.
PRODUCT FEATURES
