Formed Wire Dead-end for OPGW
YINING ELECTRICAL COMPANY: INNOVATIVE FORMED WIRE DEAD-END SOLUTIONS FOR OPGW

At YINING ELECTRICAL COMPANY, we specialize in preformed line products designed to meet the evolving demands of modern power transmission infrastructure. Our flagship product, the Formed Wire Dead-end for OPGW (Optical Ground Wire), stands as a testament to our commitment to quality, reliability, and engineering excellence. This advanced solution provides a robust and efficient method for securing OPGW lines, ensuring optimal performance in both new installations and maintenance projects.

Product Overview: Formed Wire Dead-end for OPGW

The YINING ELECTRICAL Formed Wire Dead-end is an innovative alternative to traditional "U-Bolt Type" dead-end designs. It utilizes two helically shaped formed wire components: an inner layer of Structural Reinforcing Rods and an outer layer of Dead-end Components. This dual-layer design ensures even distribution of axial tensile loads and compressive forces across the OPGW surface, minimizing stress on the central core and internal optical fibers. The result is enhanced mechanical stability and protection for critical communication and power systems.

Key Components and Specifications

• 1.Dead-End Component: Constructed from aluminum-covered steel with a grip applied, this component ensures high tensile strength while maintaining compatibility with OPGW materials.
• 2.Structural Reinforcing Rods: These rods, made of aluminum-covered steel with grit, provide additional structural integrity and wear resistance.
• 3.Thimble Clevis: Fabricated from galvanized ductile iron, the thimble clevis offers corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments.
• 4.Extension Link (Optional): Comprising galvanized steel or galvanized ductile iron, the extension link is paired with a stainless steel cotter key to secure the pin assembly.
• 5.Anchor Shackle (Optional): A galvanized steel forging anchor shackle is available for added flexibility in installation configurations.
• 6.Color Code and Crossover Marks: Standardized color codes and crossover marks ensure ease of identification and proper alignment during installation.
• 7.Current Transfer Tab: Crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy, this tab facilitates efficient electrical conductivity between the dead-end and OPGW.
• 8.Grounding Wire Assembly (Optional): Available in copper or aluminum conductor with an aluminum-compatible lug, this option supports grounding requirements for safety and system performance.

Applications and Advantages

Our Formed Wire Dead-end is engineered for left-hand lay single-layer strand OPGW systems. The standard structural reinforcing rod employs a right-hand lay, while the dead-end component features a left-hand lay, ensuring optimal load distribution. This design eliminates the need for complex hardware while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
Compared to traditional dead-end solutions, our product reduces mechanical stress on OPGW cores, preserving the integrity of optical fibers and minimizing signal loss. Additionally, the preformed wire construction allows for faster, tool-free installation, reducing labor costs and project timelines.
Important Note: For OPGW with multi-layer strand construction, the rated breaking strength may exceed the holding capacity of the Formed Wire Dead-end. In such cases, we recommend consulting our technical team to ensure compatibility and safety.
