FITTINGS FOR OPGW AND ADSS

FITTINGS FOR OPGW AND ADSS

The technology widely uses optical fibres for the transmission of information and data. Recently, shield wires incorporating optical fibres have been developed for power lines, generating a system able to perform several tasks.

Besides the performance required for conventional shield wires, the fittings for optical fibres cables, shall guarantee the total mechanical protection of the fibres and the absence of any attenuation of the optical signal in the most severe conditions.

Nuova Elettromeccanica Sud designs these fittings using the expertise used gained in the field of preformed products.  Several mechanical tests and optical measurements, performed so far, have demonstrated that NES fittings fully comply with the requirements of mechanical strength, fatigue endurance and absence of optical signal attenuation, developing a reliable system in any conditions.

NES collaborates from several years with the main manufacturers of OPGW and ADSS, as Prysmian, AFL and LS Cable.
