To effectively splice OPGW cables, begin by ensuring site safety through the establishment of an equal potential zone, then prepare and straighten the cable, remove the armor to access the fibers, splice the fibers using a fusion splicer, and secure the splice with a heat shrink. OPGW cables combine the functions of grounding and communication, with a optical fibers in the middle of the conductive cable. OPGW cables are installed on transmission and distribution power lines, above the high-voltage power conductors since acts as the protection from lightning strikes. Optical fibers as a medium have many great features, but handling fiber-optic cables requires trained and experienced staff.
