The OPGW comprises an inner core containing optical fibres for data transmission, and an outer layer(s) of conductor strands to provide strength and to act as an overhead ground (earth) wire. The typical construction of OPGW used in TasNetworks transmission network is shown in Figure 1 below:. CentraCore optical cable houses and protects the optical fibers within a central gel-filled stainless steel tube inside an aluminum pipe. Aluminum-clad steel and aluminum alloy wires are stranded around the central element in single or multiple layers.
