Home / Fiber optic cable used as ground wire
An optical ground wire (also known as an OPGW or, in the IEEE standard, an optical fiber composite overhead ground wire) is a type of cable that is used in overhead power lines.

Optical fibers are used by utilities as an alternative to private point-to-point microwave systems,or communication circuits on metallic cables.
