Introducing optical cable grounding
OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) is a kind of cable that comprises the dual functions of grounding and fiber optic communication. To maintain system integrity and ensure the safety of personnel, grounding techniques are essential when accessing and splicing OPGW fibers. Application OPGW is mainly applied in communication line of newly constructed high voltage transmit electricity system with 35 KV or above, or replacement of existing ground wire of previous overhead high voltage transmit electricity system. OPGW is primarily used by the electric utility industry, placed in the secure topmost position of the transmission line where it “shields” the all-important conductors from lightning while providing a telecommunications path for internal as well as third party communications.

Optical Receiver Protection
Receiver Protection: Optical attenuators are deployed in fiber optic networks to protect sensitive receivers from damage due to excessively high optical power levels. APDsdiffer from other photodiodes in that APDs can provide gain, meaning that the ratio of incoming photons to outgoing electrons is greater than 1:1. APDs provide significant advantages. What Is an Optical Attenuator and How Does It Work? An optical attenuator is a passive device that reduces optical power in a controlled way without changing the signal format. In fiber systems, attenuation is specified in dB (a ratio), while optical power is often given in dBm (absolute power.
