FAQs: FTTx Electronics
Below are the FAQs submitted by customers regarding the FTTx Electronics product line.

Q: Which should I use -- OPGW or ADSS or SkyWrap?

A: Well, as usual, the answer depends on many factors. The easiest answer is when you are building a new transmission line and shield wires must be installed. In that scenario, the incremental cost of installing optical ground wire versus standard shield wire is minimal while the benefits of a fiber optic network for internal communications, grid management, etc. are profound. Similarly, on an existing transmission line, if the shield wire is aged and needs to be replaced, that is the perfect opportunity to install optical ground wire. ADSS is ideal for installation in distribution as well as transmission environments, even when live-line installations are required. SkyWrap is helically applied on ground wires or phase conductors, and it is the ideal solution when access to overhead lines is problematic due to rugged terrain or outage limitations.
