SkyLink Vector

INFO

Applications

The Aluminum Pipe – PBT Loose Tube OPGW is a high-capacity, dual-barrier conductor designed for extra-high voltage (EHV) transmission corridors. It is the premier choice for utility engineers who require the highest levels of electrical conductivity and maximum environmental isolation for the optical core. Preferred by splicers technicians.
