FIBERLIGN® Non-Insulated Suspension

The FIBERLIGN® Suspension is specially
designed for supporting Optical Ground Wire
(OPGW) and long span designs of all-dielectric
self-supported (ADSS) fiber optic cables.
The combination of the Structural Reinforcing Rods, Outer Rods, and

resilient insert reduces compression and bending stress on the OPGW or
ADSS at supporting structures, especially during weather related oscillations
(vibration and galloping).
The Current Transfer Tab provides for electrical bonding of OPGW to the
supporting structure or ground lead.
ULTIMATE VERTICAL STRENGTH. Refer to dimensional table in this section.
Slip Load: When initially installed, the FIBERLIGN® Suspension has a slip
load of approximately 10-20% of a standard OPGW rated strength, but
significantly higher loads can be expected after the unit has been in service
for a period of time. SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY PART

The SRL effectively transfers axial tensile
forces from the cable’s internal high-strength
elements through the lower-strength plastic
jacket and into the Dead-end itself. This
transition zone provides a balance between
the different materials which have varying
performance characteristics under tension
and environmental conditions. The SRL also
distributes the radial compressive forces over a
wider area to achieve high holding strength and
to prevent damage to the internal optical fibers.
