Fiber Optic Cable Hardware

The mini-dead ends are designed for fast and easy installation of your ADSS Mini-Span® cable. The mini-dead end is ideal in crowded distribution environments where its shorter length allows for efficient installation. This unique low-cost product is used in typical spans with 1-2% installation sag.
AFL’s ADSS suspension unit is used to provide long term performance for spans up to 1200 feet.
Temporary grips are used in stringing the ADSS during sagging and where it is necessary to make short-term catch on the ADSS.
AFL offers trunnions with various mounting capabilities: bolted, banded or standoff. Trunnions reduce installation costs by functioning as a pull-through during installation (maximum line angle for stringing is 15° total, 7.5° per side, number of structures not to exceed 30). Block or pulley is not needed, provided these conditions are met.
AFL offers wedge dead ends that ease and speed ADSS cable installation. The ADSS Wedge Dead End is ideal in crowded distribution environments because its shorter length allows for safer and efficient installation.
The nonmetallic AFL FIT Tool is used to install formed wire components without damaging the cable.
The AFL dead end is a full-tension termination for optical ground wire cable (OPGW).
The bonding clamp is used to ground OPGW to the tower by attaching to the tower grounding wire. Specific requirements vary from one utility to another. The product is an aluminum extruded parallel groove clamp. The clamp is available with one or two bolts, depending on the application requirements.
OPGW comealongs are stringing tools designed for pulling optical ground wire up to initial sag tensions.
Coil for prevention corona at ADSS dead end or suspension accessories.
AFL downlead clamps are used to guide ADSS wire from the top of the structure to the splice box.
Downlead clamps are used to secure the OPGW fiber optic cable as it is trained down the pole or tower.
AFL downlead clamps are used to guide optical ground wire (OPGW) from the top of the structure to the splice box. AFL’s downlead clamps install easily, provide proper spacing and hold strength without damage to the cable. From poles to towers, AFL offers a full line of OPGW downlead clamps to meet the needs of any application.
Fiber Storage Units (FSU) are used to conveniently store an extra length of cable along the ADSS cable run for later use.
Formed wire dead end for ADSS cable.
The guide clamp is used to guide OPGW cable down steel towers, steel poles, concrete poles and wood poles to splice locations. The Guide Clamps may be bolted to the tower or poles. Additionally, adapters are available for the steel towers and steel and concrete poles.
The Hinged Bushing Suspension (HIBUS) is designed to reduce the static and dynamic stress at the attachment point on all types of OPGW fiber cables without the use of protective rods. Eliminating the need for the rods was achieved by the use of a unique bushing system that allows the OPGW cable to better withstand the effects of aeolian vibration.
The HIBUS Trunnion is designed to reduce the static and dynamic stress at the attachment point on all types of OPGW fiber cables without the use of protective rods. Eliminating the need for the rods was achieved by the use of a unique bushing system that allows the OPGW cable to better withstand the effects of aeolian vibration.
The unique design of the lightweight AFL Mechanical Suspension supports spans of optical ground wire (OPGW) cable through a wide range of line angle changes. AFL’s Mechanical Suspension installs easily while supporting vertical, transverse, longitudinal unbalanced loads and angle pulls without damaging the cable strands or affecting optical fiber performance.
Mini Brackets are used for short and medium spans of ADSS fiber optic cable as well as Aerial Drop cables. Formed Wire Tangent Supports (FTS) are used with ADSS Mini-Span® 323 and Mini-Span® 383 for short span applications.
The 26 kV isolator kit is designed for aerial optical cable system applications in which complete electrical discontinuity is required.
The anti-rotational device provides a means of stringing fiber optic cable without introducing torsion stress.
The bonding wire is used in conjunction with the AFL HIBUS® and SUME suspension clamps to provide a path to ground from the OPGW cable to the tower. Bonding wires are available in multiple length and lug size attachment options.

OPGW Single Dead End Lattice Tower Configuration Assemblies
OPGW Single Dead End Steel Pole Drilled or Vang Configuration Assemblies
AFL offers several configuration assemblies for OPGW single dead end wood pole/H-frame.
Single suspension assemblies for lattice tower are supplied with Y-Clevis, socket eye and suspension clamp assembly.
Assemblies for drilled poles or Vang configurations.
Single suspension assemblies for wood pole are supplied with Y-Clevis, socket eye, shield wire support bracket and suspension clamp assembly.
Vibration dampers work to cancel damaging fatigue caused by wind-induced vibration. Most tuned damping devices operate best near their natural frequencies.
The Opti-Guard Splice Enclosure from AFL offers an impressive spectrum of features which makes it the best selection for your splice protection needs.
AFL’s splice enclosure provides protection from all types of elements. From weather to bullets, the iron and steel construction requires no additional protective covering. Furnished with four plugged cable ports (2 aluminum and 2 plastic) for either All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) or Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) cables, the splice enclosure can be pre-mounted to a structure before completion of the splicing phase.
Spiral vibration dampers have a helically-formed damping section sized for interplay of damper and cable to provide the action/reaction motion that opposed the natural vibration wave.
The stainless steel tube straightening tool is used to straighten the stainless steel buffer tubes on stranded stainless steel tube OPGW cables.
The trunnion support clamp is used to secure the OPGW cable to a trunnion type bracket configuration. Either mounted directly to the tower or an insulator, the clamp provides enough force to maintain the designed slip load without causing cable attenuation. For more information, contact factory regarding slip load capabilities.
AFL’s optical ground wire (OPGW) wedge dead end improves the ease and speed of installing OPGW as compared to bolted and formed wire devices. The wedge dead end is sold mostly assembled and only requires connecting three components (the body, top wedge and locking pin) during preparation.
Guide clamps are typically two groove clamps used to guide the cable to splice locations.
