The degree of protection needed for a specific application depends
on a number of factors such as cable type, line design, temperature,
tension, and exposure to wind flow.
The central spoiling section of the FIBERLIGN® Air Flow Spoiler suppresses galloping or dancing
motion of OPGW or other fiber optic cables by providing a constantly changing aerodynamic profile.
Helical gripping sections on both ends of the FIBERLIGN® Air Flow Spoiler secure the unit to the cable
while minimizing compressive clamping forces.
The number and placement of FIBERLIGN® Air Flow Spoilers in each span are determined by a computer
programme which considers the results of ongoing field and laboratory research.
FIBERLIGN® Downlead
Cushioned Clamp
The clamp body is made from aluminium alloy, and is designed to clamp
onto the angle iron member of steel towers, and to secure OPGW or ADSS
downleads to structures while minimising compressive clamping forces
which could be transferred to the optical elements.
The fasteners are stainless steel and specially selected for this application.
The unit is supplied complete with urethane cushions of the selected size.
