Steel strand and optical cable integrated
Stranded Stainless Steel Tube OPGW (SSST / Multi-Tube) is an overhead ground wire with integrated optical fibers. Instead of a single central tube, the optical fibers are housed in multiple stainless-steel loose tubes arranged within the stranded cable. This study proposes a novel coaxial strain-sensing cable (CSSC) based intelligent steel strand (CSSC-ISS), which has both functions of force-bearing and self-sensing. Steel wire strand provides exceptional tensile strength, making it an ideal choice for the construction of optical cables.
