Bolted Dead End for OPGW
The AFL Dead End is a full tension termination for Optical Ground Wire cable. Breakaway head bolts are used to apply a precise gripping force to hold the cable without
affecting optical fiber performance.
Features
Bolted Dead End with Cable Guide
• Performance: Sustained load equivalent to 95% of cable RBS
• Ultimate mechanical strength of dead end components: 40,000 lbs.
• Break-away bolts ensure proper installation torque while eliminating the need for
specialized torque wrenches
• Optional Cable Guide (recommended) to train Optical Ground Wire down or
around structure
• Drilled and tapped for grounding lug, eliminating additional accessories for electrical bonding
• Shorter than formed wire dead ends, allowing installation from the support structure
• Faster installation than competitive designs, reducing installation costs
• Optional link plate available for extension from structures (see next page)
