OPGW Cable Armor Rod, Conductor Repair Rod, Preformed Armor Rod, Cable Protection Rod

Product Alias

Optical Cable Full Tension Splice Rod

Target Region

Shandong

Features

1) Low wear: Since the armor rods and short armor rods tightly grip the conductor, preventing conductor slippage, conductor wear is minimized;

2) Anti-loosening: Due to the preformed helix's tight grip elasticity, it remains secure over the long term without loosening;

3) Good corrosion resistance: The rods are treated with anti-rust coating, providing strong corrosion resistance;

4) Simple installation: No tools required; quick and easy field installation by hand, achievable by a single person;

5) Easy installation quality control: No training needed; visual inspection is sufficient, with a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance;

6) Strong versatility: Compatible with various types of fittings.

Purpose and Structure

Preformed armor rods are used to protect conductors from vibration, clamp compression stress, friction, arcing, and all other external damages. Preformed short armor rods can protect conductors from arcing, friction, or other damages on lines with shorter spans where conductor vibration is not severe. They can also serve as repair rods to restore the original mechanical strength and conductivity of damaged conductors. Additionally, they are used to protect branch lines, preventing damage caused by arcing and friction at conductor branch points.

The structure of preformed armor rods and preformed short armor rods is simple: a set of preformed helices forms a hollow tube that generates a gripping force when wrapped around the conductor, thereby protecting it.

Preformed splicing fittings can be categorized into conductor splice rods, jumper splice rods, full tension splice rods for ACSR, T-connection rods, preformed splice rods (for steel strand guy/ground wires), and splice rods for aluminum-clad steel strands. Each product type, depending on the usage environment and line material, includes three series: for ACSR, aluminum strands, and steel strands. Except for the full tension splice rods for ACSR, all splice rods consist of a single layer of preformed helix; the full tension splice rods for ACSR are composed of three layers: an inner steel core splice rod, a filler rod, and an outer splice rod.

The rod set is made of aluminum-clad copper single wires, with conductive abrasive material inside.

Product Features

1. Repair armor rods can provide different levels of mechanical and electrical repairs based on the specific structure and material of OPGW. 2. Repair armor rods can repair mechanical damage up to 50% of the cable's rated strength.

Selection Guidelines

OPGW repair armor rods are installed on the outer layer of OPGW optical cables. Their purpose is to repair mechanical wear on the cable's outer layer, but they are not fiber optic repair products.
