ACS optical cables typically feature a central stainless steel tube housing the optical fibers, which may be gel-filled or loosely buffered to prevent fiber strain during installation and operation . Surrounding this core, aluminum-clad steel wires and sometimes aluminum alloy wires are helically stranded in single or multiple layers, providing mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and lightning protection . The aluminum cladding is bonded to the steel core using the continuous extrusion method, which ensures a uniform, high-purity aluminum layer that enhances corrosion resistance and conductivity .
ACS optical cables are widely used in OPGW systems, where they serve as both a shield wire for power transmission lines and a communication medium for optical signals . They are suitable for high-voltage transmission lines, right-of-way installations, and locations where mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and electrical performance are critical.
The aluminum-clad steel wire is produced by extruding aluminum onto a high-strength steel core, with the aluminum thickness adjustable to meet conductivity and corrosion requirements. ACS wires comply with international standards such as IEC, ASTM, and EN, and can be customized for fiber count, tensile strength, and electrical performance . Modern designs allow fiber counts up to 192 in a single cable, with controlled excess length to minimize strain and attenuation .
Aluminum-clad steel optical cable technology integrates mechanical robustness, electrical efficiency, and corrosion resistance in a compact, lightweight design. Its combination of stainless steel fiber housing, aluminum-clad steel wires, and optional aluminum alloy layers makes it ideal for OPGW applications, providing reliable optical communication and lightning protection in power transmission networks .
