CentraCore Optical Ground Wire is available in fiber counts up to 72, and due to its small size, offers a unique solution to the diameter and weight concerns on many of today’s overloaded towers. A central stainless steel tube houses the optical fibers. The stainless steel tube is then inserted into an aluminum pipe which provides added crush protection while increasing the conductivity. The fibers are protected from environmental conditions (lightning, short circuit, loading) to ensure reliability and longevity.
