  2. Optical ground wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_ground_wire

    An optical ground wire (also known as an OPGW or, in the IEEE standard, an optical fiber composite overhead ground wire) is a type of cable that is used in overhead power lines. Such cable combines the functions of grounding and communications. An OPGW cable contains a tubular structure with one or more optical fibers in it, surrounded by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_attached_cable

    SkyWrap fibre-optic cable installation. Optical attached cable (OPAC) is a type of fibre-optic cable that is installed by being attached to a host conductor along overhead power lines. The attachment system varies and can include wrapping, lashing or clipping the fibre-optic cable to the host.

  4. All-dielectric self-supporting cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-dielectric_self...

    All-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cable is a type of optical fiber cable that is strong enough to support itself between structures without using conductive metal elements. It is used by electrical utility companies as a communications medium, installed along existing overhead transmission lines and often sharing the same support structures ...

  5. Fiber-optic cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_cable

    A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable is used.

  6. Outside plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outside_plant

    Outside plant cabling, whether copper or fiber, is generally installed as aerial cable between poles, in an underground conduit system, or by direct burial. [2] Hardware associated with the outside plant must be either protected from the elements (for example, distribution frames are generally protected by a street side cabinet) or constructed ...

  7. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    An overhead line with bare conductors insulated by air is typically less costly than a cable with insulated conductors. A more common approach is "covered" line wire. It is treated as bare cable, but often is safer for wildlife, as the insulation on the cables increases the likelihood of a large-wing-span raptor to survive a brush with the ...
