An optical fiber composite overhead ground wire (OPGW) is a new type of ground cable used in the high-voltage power transmission system that serves as both a conventional overhead ground cable and a communication optical cable. OPGW cables. OPAC (optical power attached cable) is a type of fiber optic cable that is installed by attaching to a host conductor along overhead power lines. This innovative design allows power utilities to simultaneously transmit high-voltage. OPGW is primarily used by the electric utility industry, placed in the secure topmost position of the transmission line where it “shields” the all-important conductors from lightning while providing a telecommunications path for internal as well as third party communications.
