OPGW rod lead down clip ‌ is a kind of golden tool used for fixing OPGW optical cable on the pole and tower, mainly used for fixing the lead on the pole and tower. It can be fixed at the cable connector rod (tower) from the clamping device to the installation of the protection box, and can also be led down from the tower to the underground pipeline, cable trench, direct burial, and led down into the machine room and other places for fixing. The main function of the lead down clip is to avoid damage to the cable by friction between the cable and the pole or other objects under the action of wind, so as to protect the safety of the cable.

Structure and material

The lead clamp for the OPGW rod is usually composed of connecting fittings, composite insulators, fixed clamps or hoop. One end of the composite insulator is installed with a connecting fixture, and the other end is installed with a fixing clamp or a hoop. The two ends of the binding wire are spiral, and the middle of the binding wire is provided with a bayonet and a fixing fit of the connecting fittings. The composite insulator comprises a mandrel and an umbrella skirt, which are made of insulating materials. This design ensures the stability and safety of the cable when fixed

OPGW rod lead down clamp is mainly used to tighten the cable on the pole to avoid the cable shaking and wear.

The specific functions

At the cable connector bar (tower), lead the cable from the clamping fixture to the protection box installation point and secure the cable

When the cable is led down from the pole tower to the underground pipeline, cable trench, direct buried, and led down into the equipment room, etc., the lead down clip also plays a fixed role to prevent the cable from friction with the pole tower or other objects and damage.

In addition, when using the OPGW rod with the lead down clip, the following points need to be noted:

Lead down clips are usually installed every 1.5m to 2.0m to ensure the stability of the cable.

When installing the cable, ensure that the cable is secured to the pole by the lead down clip, so that it does not shake.

In summary, OPGW rod with lead clamp plays a crucial role in the fixing and protection of optical cable.

OPGW rod with lead down clamp products mainly include the advantages of fixed optical cable to prevent swing, protect the safety of optical cable, convenient installation and excellent material ‌, many OPGW rod with lead down clamp made of hot dip galvanized steel plate or stainless steel and other high-quality materials, has good corrosion resistance and durability, can adapt to a variety of harsh outdoor environment‌.
