What is the difference between ADSS and OPGW?

ADSS is fully non-metallic and installed below phase conductors without carrying current. OPGW replaces the metallic shield wire atop the tower for dual-function grounding and fiber communication.

What is the maximum span length for Opelink ADSS cables?

100–1,200 m under NESC light loading. Opelink provides free sag-tension calculations per IEEE 1222 for each project.

Why is the anti-tracking (AT) sheath important?

On lines above 35 kV, dry-band arcing erodes standard PE. AT sheath uses high-tracking-resistance compound for 25+ year service life on 220 kV lines.
