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 todays
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.

Comealong for Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) - OCA Series


OPGW Comealongs are stringing tools designed for pulling optical
ground wire up to initial sag tensions. If the required tension is
greater than the rated tension of a single comealong, two or more
comealongs should be used (refer to Installation Instructions).
When desired sag tension is reached, the cable should be dead
ended promptly and the comealong removed.
Comealongs must receive periodic maintenance. This practice
should consist of a thorough cleaning with close inspection for
nicked or rough cable grooves, cracked body, bent eye bolts, or
damaged bail. The eyebolts should be kept clean and oiled. The
cable groove should be kept clean and dry. After each six months
use and at the beginning of each job, all comealongs should be
subjected to a pull test equal to its rated strength. If any damage
is found, the comealong should be disposed of or sent to ACA
Conductor Accessories for rework and recertification.
Features
Highly engineered product
Extruded aluminum body for greater strength and tolerance
control
Bails are magnafluxed for quality assurance
Double lock nuts with cotter pins on the bail
Peened 1/2 eye bolts prevent loss of nuts and washers
Angled bail provides clearance between the conductor and the
hoist to protect the cable from damage
Ordering Instructions
Refer to charts on next page for catalog numbers.

Vibration Damper
Vibration Dampers work to cancel damaging fatigue caused by wind-induced vibration.
Most tuned damping devices operate best near their natural frequencies. AFL vibration
dampers are designed for efficient transfer and dissipation of energy over a wide spectrum
of frequencies. They feature all aluminum clamp construction to match expansion/contraction of conductor and break-away bolts for easy installation and proper torque.

Sheath Stripper
The Fiber Optic Sheath Stripper is designed to longitudinally score the tight structure fiber
units within certain AFL OPGW designs. A simple pull of the Sheath Stripper along the fiber
unit ensures correct score depth allowing for easy removal of the overall unit sheath and
access to the enclosed fibers. The reusable unit is easy to maintain and adjust. The kit
includes the sheath stripper, replacement blades, adjustment tool, instructions and fiber
unit samples for practice and blade adjustments.

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.

Spiral Vibration Damper for ADSS Cable


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. A smaller gripping section gently grips the cable so that cable and fiber are not
damaged or distorted and there is no optical signal loss. Spiral dampers are recommended
for the ADSS cable when the combination of span length and tension indicate by vibration
review that external vibration protection is required.

Acting as the backbone for most of todays fiber based systems, stranded fiber optic
cables play a critical role in the high speed network. AFLs Non-Armored Double Jacket
Loose Tube fiber optic cables are designed to provide high fiber counts with the flexibility
and versatility required for todays most demanding installations while incorporating a
second jacket when extra mechanical protection is desired. With fiber counts up to 576
and S-Z strand designs for easy mid-span access, AFLs cables comply with EIA/TIA, REA/RUS
PE-90 and GR-20. Industry standard designs combined with innovative technologies, such
as a dry core product, yield a world class cable that will support todays and tomorrows
technological needs.

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, OFNG-LS Listed
AFLs Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Loose Tube cable is designed for use in outdoor
aerial and 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 flame-retartant,
non-halogenated UV-resistant outer jacket.
AFLs LSZH cable is OFNG-LS listed for non-armored configurations in fiber counts up to
216. Fiber counts above 216 as well as armored configurations up to 144 fibers are also
available utilizing the same design philosophy and materials.

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. Our Uniflex
Indoor/Outdoor not only services the outside plant environment, but also qualifies as an Indoor/
Outdoor cable, allowing potential cost savings with fewer splice points. AFL Uniflex Indoor/
Outdoor complies with EIA/TIA standards and is listed for OFNR use per UL standards.

SB01 Splice Box Enclosure


The SB01 Splice Box Enclosure is used to house optical fibers in a protective, moisturefree environment. Electrical utilities and optical cable installers use the splice enclosure for
inline splicing or cable taps.
The splice box, circular in shape, made from cast ductile iron with a galvanized coating, is furnished with four (2-aluminum, 2- plastic) plugged cable ports and (1) splice
tray capable of storing twelve (12) splices. Additional trays can be purchased separately.
Maximum tray capacity of the enclosure is eight (8) including a transition tray, if needed.
Features
One connector kit is required to secure each cable to the enclosure. The cable connector kit is attached to the enclosure by threading the outside body into the cable port. The
cable is then prepared for assembly into connector according to the installation instructions provided. All optical units are inserted through the connector, the cable is positioned
into the connector body and secured with a sleeve device and set screws. Each kit is sized
specific to the cable design and ordered separately.
Re-entry is easily achieved by unscrewing the nut that secures the housing cover. Special
re-entry kits are not required.
Manufactured from iron and steel, the SB01 splice box is bullet resistant without the need
for additional protective covering as found with other splice enclosures.
The SB01 can be premounted to the structure before completion of the splicing phase.
The enclosure has the internal capacity to store approximately 25 feet (7.62 m) of buffer
tube. This storage feature is a cost savings, whereby eliminating the need for an external
coil storage bracket (stainless steel tube optical ground wire designs do not apply here
and will require a storage bracket).
For future splicing, the SB01 is designed with an internal tray holder that easily detaches
from the enclosure; buffer tubes can be uncoiled and the tray lowered to the ground.
