OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) systems are a critical component in modern power transmission and telecommunication infrastructure. Combining the functions of both a ground wire for electrical transmission systems and optical fibres for data transmission, OPGW plays a dual role. Its primary function is to provide a safe path for lightning strikes, protecting power lines from damage.
Simultaneously, the embedded optical fibres enable high-speed data transmission for monitoring and control purposes. OPGW conductors enhance the reliability and efficiency of electrical grids, allowing real-time data collection and remote diagnostics. Their integration has become integral to modernizing power grids and ensuring uninterrupted energy supply while facilitating telecommunications connectivity.
