CentraCore OPGW
CentraCore Optical Ground Wire is available in fiber counts up to 72, and due to its small
size, offers a unique solution to the diameter and weight concerns on many of today’s
overloaded towers. A central stainless steel tube houses the optical fibers. The stainless
steel tube is then inserted into an aluminum pipe which provides added crush protection
while increasing the conductivity. The fibers are protected from environmental conditions
(lightning, short circuit, loading) to ensure reliability and longevity.

Standard ADSS Fiber Optic Cable
AFL-ADSS® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable is ideal for installation in distribution as
well as transmission environments, even when live-line installations are required. As its
name indicates, there is no support or messenger wire required, so installation is achieved
in a single pass, making ADSS an economical and simple means of achieving a fiber
optic network. AFL manufactures its own line of attachment hardware as well as supplies
formed wire fittings when preferred.
Temperature Range

Storage
Features
• Suitable for use on distribution and high
voltage transmission lines
• Track-resistant outer jacket available for
installations on high voltage lines where
space potentials reach up to 25kV
•Gel-filled buffer tubes are S-Z stranded
for easy mid-span access
• Cable is water-blocked using dry core
technology, therefore no messy flooding
compounds
• Design details listed below for span
lengths up to 1500ft (457m) and fiber
counts up to 432
• Custom designs available for larger span
lengths or other fiber counts

Indoor/Outdoor Loose Tube Cable
Indoor/outdoor stranded loose tube combines the robust mechanical and environmental
characteristics of an outside plant cable with the flexibility of an inside plant riser cable.
By installing indoor/outdoor stranded loose tube, costly splice locations entering into a
building are avoided, being routed directly from the outside plant to telecommunications
closets, or main distribution frames (MDF) through the riser of a building and eliminating
the “50-foot rule.” Indoor/Outdoor Stranded Design loose tube cable is moisture and U.V.
resistant, S-Z stranded for easy mid-span access, listed for OFNR use per UL standards,
and can be used in both duct and lashed applications.

Low Smoke Zero Halogen
Loose Tube Cable
OFN-LS Listed and Non-Listed
AFL’s Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Loose Tube cable is designed for use in outdoor
aerial and indoor duct appplications including subways and tunnels with requirements
for limited smoke and zero halogen. Optical fibers are located within S-Z strandard buffer
tubes, providing stable and reliable long-term performance. The cable is dry-blocked
(no messy gel flooding the core) to prevent axial flow of moisture and utilizes a flameretardant, non-halogenated UV-resistant outer jacket.
AFL’s Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) loose tube cable group includes OFN-LS Listed
as well as non-listed designs. The OFN-LS listed loose tube cable line (LL-Series) is
specially engineered for applications that require UL/NEC compliant cables intended
for inside-building applications and must meet minimum flame and smoke generation guideline.The Non-Listed cables are also constructed with LSZH materials and are
intended for OSP installations where NFPA/NEC listing is not required.

Uniflex® Indoor/Outdoor Loose Tube Cable
Single tube products allow for installations that require a high degree of flexibility combined
with a small cable diameter. AFL Telecommunications has designed a cable that has all the
characteristics of stranded loose tube cables from a mechanical and environmental standpoint,
combined with the high flexibility and small diameter requirements of real world installations.
This cable is the ultimate solution for flexible, connectorized applications, as well as crowded
ducts in existing fiber applications, and can be lashed to an aerial messenger. Uniflex Indoor/
Outdoor cable not only services the outside plant environment, but also qualifies as an Indoor/
Outdoor cable, allowing potential cost savings with fewer splice points. Uniflex Indoor/Outdoor
complies with EIA/TIA standards and is listed for OFNR use per UL standards.

SkyWrap®
Successfully installed worldwide since 1982, SkyWrap® is a fiber optic cable helically
applied on ground wires or phase conductors. A specially designed spinning machine
is used to wrap the cable under controlled conditions. This system offers a complete
communication link designed and engineered for high-voltage environments at low cost.
SkyWrap is the ideal solution when access to the overhead line is problematic. The installation equipment is lightweight and easy to handle. And, with SkyWrap there’s no need to
de-energize the line. The cable can be wrapped on the ground wire under live-line conditions.
Cable Components
Outer Jacket
– Ground Wire: Designed for UV aging, lightning, fault current and durability.
– Phase Conductor: All of the above plus track resistance up to 150kV.
– The cable sheath protects the optical unit and features different design properties
depending on the application.
– Specialized jackets available to fit your unique circumstances.
Features
• Quick, cost effective installation
• Utilize existing power line infrastructure
• Use where access is limited (e.g. mountains and river crossings)
• Use for both earth-wires and phase
conductors
• Live line installations on earth-wire
• Complete lifetime turn-key solutions
•Over 20 years installation experience
Fiber
– Cable can accommodate up to 72 fibers, 144 fibers possible with a dual wrap.
Buffer Tube
– Loose tube technology protects against fiber strain. Water blocked buffer tubes provide
protection against moisture penetration. Cable integrity tested in ice, high wind and fault
current temperatures of up to 250°C.
Flooding Compound
Strength Members
– Small glass reinforced strength members ensure a uniform installation tension under all
environmental conditions throughout its life. The messenger, either ground wire or phase
conductor, acts as the main support member for the wrapped cable, once installed.
