1. GENERAL
1.GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE
PECIFICATIONThis specification covers Optical Ground Wire Cables (OPGW) for the installation on high TECHNICAL
voltage overhead power lines. The cable contains optical fibers for data transmission and
round Wire telecom purposes and is installed instead of a ground wire. Optica

The specification describes the basic design of an OPGW-cable with its main components: the
fibers, the optical fiber unit and the cable armoring. Furthermore this specification contains
information concerning the quality assurance during manufacturing, the final acceptance tests,
the type tests and the packaging.

1.2 Cable Description

Cable which has the dual performance functions of a conventional ground wire with
telecommunication capabilities.

1.3 Quality

ZTT ensures a continuing level of quality in our cable products through several quality control
programs including ISO 9001.

1.4 Reliability

ZTT ensures product reliability through rigorous qualification testing of each product family. Both
initial and periodic qualification testing are performed to assure the cable's performance and

5.1 General
PECIFICATIO N
There are different test series to assure the quality of OPGW:
TECHNIC
round Wire  Routine test (in–process testing according to internal quality plan) O

 Factory acceptance test (FAT, witnessed by customer)

 Type test (only in case of a basic new design, repetition in exceptional cases)

OPGW tests shall be in accordance with applicable standards or agreements between purchaser
and manufacturer.

As a general rule the tests will be performed according IEC 60794-4-10.However, if necessary
tests can be done according to IEEE Std1138.

Type test

Type test may be waived by submitting maker’s certificate of the similar product performed in an
internationally acknowledged independent test organization or laboratory. If type test should be
performed, it will be carried out according to an extra type test procedure reached to an
agreement between purchaser and manufacturer.

pproved attenuation coefficient on all production cable lengths is measured according to IEC
Version Date
60793-1-CIC (Back-scattering technique, OTDR). Standard single-mode fibers are measured at
1310nm and at 1550nm. Non-zero dispersion shifted single–mode (NZDS) fibers are measured
at 1550nm.

Factory acceptance test is carried out on one sample per order in the presence of the customer
or his representative. The requirements for quality characteristics are determined by relevant
standards and agreed quality plans.
