OPLC / Optical Fiber Composite Cable

OPLC / Optical Fiber Composite Cable

OPLC / Optical Fiber Composite Cable for combined power and optical communication cable routes.

OPLC / Optical Fiber Composite Cable combines power and optical communication functions for project routes requiring electrical supply and fiber communication in one cable system.

  • Key Technical Points:
  • OPLC selection must review electrical and optical functions together, not as a normal power cable only.
  • Fiber count, optical unit protection and power conductor construction should match the route design.
  • Mechanical, sheath and installation requirements should be checked for both cable functions.
  • Documentation should clearly separate electrical parameters from optical fiber parameters.
  • Product Overview

    OPLC / Optical Fiber Composite Cable should be selected according to the actual project route, not by product name alone. Before quotation, review application environment, performance standard, construction route, installation condition and required project documents. Datasheet wording, compliance documents and final supply notes should stay aligned with the selected standard and installation conditions.

    Applications

    • power routes requiring integrated optical fiber communication function
    • smart grid, utility monitoring and infrastructure communication projects
    • routes where power supply and data transmission need coordinated cable design
    • projects requiring both electrical and optical performance documentation

    Construction

    Composite construction combining power conductors with optical fiber unit protection according to route design. Electrical conductor data, fiber count, optical performance and sheath/mechanical protection should be reviewed together.

    Marking on Cable

    FARWALK CABLE – OPLC / Optical Fiber Composite Cable – [standard] – [voltage/rating] – [size] – [year] – [meter mark]

    Cable Identification

    • Cable identification, sheath color and core marking should follow the project application and standard route.

    Standards

    • IEC / BS / UL project standards
    • application-specific technical requirements

    Main Features

    Power and Fiber Composite

    OPLC combines power conductors and optical fiber units where electrical supply and communication are integrated.

    Project-Specific Design

    Fiber count, conductor size, sheath structure and mechanical protection should be designed by route requirement.

    Infrastructure Integration

    For OPLC / Optical Fiber Composite Cable, reviewed for smart grid, monitoring, transport or special infrastructure routes requiring combined functions.

    Product Selection Guide

    Application First

    Confirm whether the project requires fire survival, flame retardance, LSZH, submersible, EV, rail or composite cable.

    Performance Test

    Match IEC 60331, IEC 60332, BS 6387, BS 7211 or other requested tests to the actual project requirement.

    Installation Environment

    Review heat, water, smoke, oil, movement, vibration or public-safety conditions before choosing materials.

    Document Requirement

    Confirm datasheet, test report, sample, marking and packing requirements before quotation.

    Technical Data Overview

    Parameter Available Customization Range Key Considerations
    Power Voltage 0.6/1kV (LV) up to 35kV (MV) Determines insulation thickness (XLPE)
    Power Cores 1 Core to 5 Cores Dependent on phase/ground requirements
    Copper Size 1.5 mm² up to 630 mm² Determines current ampacity
    Fiber Type Single-Mode (G.652D) or Multi-Mode (OM1-OM4) Single-mode for long distance (Wind farms)
    Fiber Count 2 to 144 Cores Determines data bandwidth capacity
    Optical Tube PBT Loose Tube or Stainless Steel Tube Steel required for high crush resistance
    Armouring Unarmoured, STA (Steel Tape), SWA (Steel Wire) SWA for high tensile loads / STA for burial
    Outer Sheath PVC, PE, or LSZH PE for outdoor/water; LSZH for indoor fire safety
