Suspension Fiber Optic Cable Fittings

Fiber optic cable suspension fittings are specialized hardware used to support, secure, and protect optical cables on towers or poles, ensuring mechanical stability and minimizing stress on the fibers.

Types of Suspension Fittings

1. Suspension Clamps: These are preformed clamps designed to hold the optical cable without causing stress concentrations. They typically feature an aluminum alloy body with a neoprene rubber cushioning pad to protect the cable. Common types include AXC-100/12, AXC-200/13, AXC-400/13.0, AXC-400/13.5, AXC-500/14, and AXC-500/15, classified based on cable span and load requirements .

2. Angle Suspension Clamps: Used where the cable changes direction, these clamps are available in low, medium, and high tension variants depending on the application and cable type .

3. Messenger Suspension Clamps: Primarily used on straight-line towers, these clamps suspend the cable while protecting it from damage during installation and operation. They are rated by clamp breaking force and cable diameter .

4. Preformed Suspension Hardware Kits: These kits fix the conductor in the insulating cord of straight-line towers and can replace older XGU or XGF types. They often include hyperbolic waist drum damping pads for strong gripping force, minimal crown, and light weight, suitable for high-voltage lines and areas prone to ice or long spans .

5. Mechanical Suspensions: Single or double mechanical suspensions support optical ground wire (OPGW) cables across various line angles. They handle vertical, transverse, and longitudinal loads without damaging the cable strands or affecting fiber performance. Breakaway bolts ensure proper installation torque and fast assembly .

Materials and Features

  • Clamp Body: Aluminum alloy or high-impact PVC for chemical resistance and durability .
  • Cushioning Pads: Neoprene or resilient inserts to reduce compression and bending stresses .
  • Load Capacity: Specified by clamp breaking force (kN) and cable diameter (mm) to match line requirements .
  • Additional Accessories: Bird flight diverters, earthing connectors, and dead-end clamps enhance safety and functionality .

Applications

  • Straight-line Towers: Standard suspension clamps and messenger clamps.
  • Angle or Crossing Points: Angle suspension clamps and mechanical suspensions.
  • High-Voltage or Long Spans: Preformed suspension hardware with damping pads for 220kV lines and above .
  • Environmental Considerations: Ice-prone areas, long-distance spans, and bird-sensitive regions benefit from specialized accessories like diverters .

Fiber optic cable suspension fittings are essential for maintaining the mechanical integrity and performance of optical networks, ensuring cables remain secure, stress-free, and operational under various environmental and load conditions.
