InSky OPGW
Used by electric utilities on transmission lines with the voltage of 35 kV and higher for creating optical communication lines and protecting the power lines from lightning strikes.
InAir ADSS
Applied for aerial installation on distribution and power transmission lines for building long distance optical communication systems.
Specialty Cable
Used for distributed fiber optic sensing in different applications.
InFire Rated
Used for indoor and outdoor applications where fire resistance is a must. Remain functional under direct flame for at least 180 minutes.
InDuct
Applied in ducts, conduits and trays with no risk of rodent attacks. Can also be lashed.
InArmor
Designed for high reliability in harsh environments with potential mechanical impact. Applied in all ground types, swamps, and harsh rivers.
BlownIn
Designed for air blowing in ducts and microducts for building reliable underground communication networks.
InWater
Designed for underwater application with increased crush and tensile loads.
InAir Figure 8
Used for cost-effective one-step aerial installation mostly in rural areas where the spans between poles are not long .
InControl
Applied in substations for control purposes.
InHome FTTH
Used to create communication lines between the common distribution box and a location inside the building (including vertical runs), between entrances or corridors in office buildings.
InDrop FTTH
Applied for aerial installation on transmission towers, lightning poles, between buildings and structures for communication networks in rural areas.
An excellent choice when moderate fault current capacity is needed in a compact diameter. It is also especially well-suited for highly corrosive locations, such as coastal areas.
Optical fiber
Aluminum-clad stainless steel tube filled with water-blocking gel
Stranded wires (aluminum-clad steel wires and/or aluminum alloy wires)
InSky OPGW CA (Optical Ground Wire Central Aluminum-Clad Loose Tube) is a great choice when moderate short-circuit current capacity in a compact diameter is required. It is also well-suited to areas of high corrosive activity, such as coastal areas. A central loose tube of OPGW CA is an aluminum-clad stainless steel tube and that’s what sets OPGW CA apart from OPGW C. An aluminum-clad stainless steel tube enhances thermal resistance, airtightness, and crush resistance.
All Incab OPGW cables have a proven design life of 50 years. They are a wholesome 3-in-1 solution for the utilities and telecommunication industry being a ground wire that enables efficient power distribution grids, a telecom medium with high-speed optical fiber for data transmission and additionally for power line monitoring. Moreover, they don’t require additional costs when placing fiber optic communication lines on power lines.
Incab OPGW cables have been tested by the independent laboratory “Kinectrics” (Canada) according to IEEE 1222 standard.
