Features:

• Rubber grommets suppress Aeolian vibration fatigue at the cable exit point
• Compact length allows for complete installation from the structure
• Shear Head bolts ensure proper torquing necessary to achieve maximum holding strength without damaging the fibers
• Optional Cable Down Guide helps to train the cable down or around the structure without exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable
• Shorter and easier to install than formed wire dead ends allowing installation directly from the tower
• Standard drilled and tapped grounding lug attachment point eliminates the need for additional bonding accessories
• Unique cable gripper insert system greatly reduces manufacturing lead times

CPI Optical Grounding Wire Spans (OPGW) Bolted Dead Ends are designed as a full tension termination. The patented Left and Right Hand gripper design allows the dead end to hold 95% of the cable's RBS (Rated Breaking Strength). Break-Away shear head bolts are used to ensure the proper gripping force is applied to the cable without attenuating the fibers and optical performance.
