Home / Lightning protection wire for low-voltage communication optical cables
Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) integrates optical fibres within a metallic ground wire structure, providing primary lightning protection to the phase conductors, a system grounding path for fault currents, and high-speed, reliable communication for SCADA, protection, and utility. Engineered for lightning protection and stable communication across 110kV–500kV lines. Steel Products Limited (SPL), a pioneer in live-line OPGW installations, has successfully deployed and commissioned over 45,000 km of OPGW across voltage levels ranging from 132 kV to 765 kV. In the ever-evolving domain of power transmission, the dual mandate of safeguarding assets and ensuring. The Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) system provides protective ground wire functionality while transporting data through fiber optics within a single overhead cable.
