FIBERLIGN® Suspension
The FIBERLIGN Suspension uses a combination of structural reinforcing rods (SRR), outer rods, housing halves, and resilient inserts to reduce compression, clamping, and bending stresses on OPGW and the optical fibers within it.
-
Reduces negative effects of wind-induced cable motion, such as aeolian vibration, galloping, and sway
-
Housing halves are captured by the aluminum strap for a low-stress assembly and suspended by a single galvanized steel bolt, washer, and locknut connection to prevent compression stress
-
Inserts are made from an elastomer that is specifically formulated to resist deterioration from UV, weathering, extreme temperature variations, and compression set
-
An aluminum alloy reinforcement is molded into each insert half for extreme loading
-
A current transfer tab is included with all standard suspensions to provide a direct electrical bond between the OPGW and a ground lead
-
The current transfer tab is captured between the outer rods of the OPGW and the SRR, simplifying installation as no fasteners are required and over-torquing is avoided
-
Housing assembly, SRR, and outer rods are made from a high-strength aluminum alloy
-
An optional ground wire assembly can be included with the suspension
-
SRR and outer rods cannot be reused. Hardware components can be reused if they are in good condition
-
The FIBERLIGN Suspension has been thoroughly tested for vibration, mechanical loading, and optical attenuation in accordance with IEEE Standard 1138 and IEEE Standard 1591.1

Installation Instructions
SP-2704 (FIBERLIGN Suspension)
Ground Wire assemblies and fittings may be included in the same container with the suspension by adding the appropriate SUFFIX CODE from the below table.
Note: the suffix sequence is grounding wire first and fittings second.
Ex. 4300100GYC includes a 4300100 single suspension with copper ground wire assembly (G) and Y-clevis eye (YC).
