OBDE14.3-14.8, OPGW Bolted Dead-End
Brand: Burndy
Catalog ID: OBDE14.3-14.8
CPI Optical Grounding Wire Spans (OPGW) Bolted Dead Ends are designed as a full tension termination. The patented Left and Right Hand gripper design allows the dead end to hold 95% of the cable's RBS (Rated Breaking Strength). Break-Away shear head bolts are used to ensure the proper gripping force is applied to the cable without attenuating the fibers and optical performance.
- Rubber grommets suppress Aeolian vibration fatigue at the cable exit point
- Compact length allows for complete installation from the structure
- Shear Head bolts ensure proper torquing necessary to achieve maximum holding strength without damaging the fibers
- Optional Cable Down Guide helps to train the cable down or around the structure without exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable
- Shorter and easier to install than formed wire dead ends allowing installation directly from the tower
- Standard drilled and tapped grounding lug attachment point eliminates the need for additional bonding accessories
- Unique cable gripper insert system greatly reduces manufacturing lead times - most sizes are typically available in stock directly from the factory
Design Criteria:
- Sustained load, 95% of cable RBS
- Ultimate Mechanical Strength 35,000 lbs
- Cable Diameter Range: .350" - .570"
