Aluminum-clad steel wires and/or aluminum alloy wires

Convenient splice preparation

Up to 144 fibers

Highly corrosion-resistant: ACS wires and aluminum pipe

Optical ground wire (OPGW) shields high-voltage conductors from lightning strikes

Aluminum alloy wires provide conductivity for fault current
