Comealong for Optical
Ground Wire - OCA Series
OPGW Comealongs are stringing tools designed for pulling optical
ground wire up to initial sag tensions . If the required tension is
greater than the rated tension of a single comealong, two or more
comealongs should be used (refer to Installation Instructions) .
When desired sag tension is reached, the cable should be dead
ended promptly and the comealong removed .
Comealongs must receive periodic maintenance . This practice
should consist of a thorough cleaning with close inspection for
nicked or rough cable grooves, cracked body, bent eye bolts, or
damaged bail . The eyebolts should be kept clean and oiled . The
cable groove should be kept clean and dry . After each six months
use and at the beginning of each job, all comealongs should be
subjected to a pull test equal to its rated strength . If any damage

is found, the comealong should be disposed of or sent to ACA
Conductor Accessories for rework and recertification .

HIBUS™ Series
OPGW Suspension
The Hinged Bushing Suspension is designed to reduce the static
and dynamic stress at the attachment point on all types of OPGW
fiber cables without the use of protective rods . Eliminating the
need for the rods was achieved by the use of a unique bushing
system that allows the OPGW cable to better withstand the effects
of aeolian vibration . Test results have proven its ability to provide
superior protection for your fiber system . The hinged concept on
the suspension configuration provides self alignment of the housing
halves . All of the hardware is captive except for attachment pin .
Test reports available include vibration test, slip test, ultimate
strength and angle test .
Clamp rated slip load at 20% of RBS for cables with less than
25,000 lbs breaking load . Contact ACA for slip rating on cables
greater than 25,000 lbs RBS .
Features
• Self-aligning housing halves
• Stress relief bushing system
• Aluminum clamp body with captive stainless steel mounting bolts
• Galvanized steel mounting pin with cotter pin
• Line angles up to 20° for single unit, up to 40° for two units using
an 18” yoke plate .

HIBUS™ Series
OPGW Trunnion
The HIBUS Trunnion is designed to reduce the static and dynamic
stress at the attachment point on all types of OPGW fiber cables
without the use of protective rods . Eliminating the need for the rods
was achieved by the use of a unique bushing system that allows the
OPGW cable to better withstand the effects of aeolian vibration . Test
results have proven its ability to provide superior protection for your
fiber system . All of the hardware is captive except for attachment pin .
Test reports available include vibration test, slip test, ultimate
strength, and angle test .
Clamp rated slip load at 20% of RBS for cables with less than
25,000 lbs breaking load . Contact ACA for slip rating on cables
greater than 25,000 lbs RBS .
Features
• Self-aligning housing halves
• Stress relief bushing system
• Aluminum clamp body with stainless steel captive securing bolts
• Line angles up to 20°

Spiral Vibration Damper for ADSS Cable
Spiral Vibration Dampers have a helically formed damping section sized for interplay of
damper and cable to provide the action/reaction motion that opposed the natural vibra-
tion wave. A smaller gripping section gently grips the cable so that cable and fiber are not
damaged or distorted and there is no optical signal loss. Spiral dampers are recommended
for the ADSS cable when the combination of span length and tension indicate by vibration
review that external vibration protection is required.

SB01 Splice Box Enclosure
ACA Conductor Accessories’ splice box enclosure provides protection from all types of
elements . From weather to bullets, the iron and steel construction requires no additional
protective covering . Furnished with four plugged cable ports (2 aluminum and 2 plastic) for
either All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) or Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) cables, the splice
enclosure can be pre-mounted to a structure before completion of the splicing phase .
With an internal capacity to store approximately 25 feet of buffer tube, the closure is more
cost-effective, eliminating the need for an external coil storage bracket (with exception to
stainless steel tube optical ground wire designs) . The 72-fiber circular fiber tray, constructed
SBO1-72 / SB01-144 of high impact-resistant Lexan , enables management of up to 144 fibers . The tray’s black
®
base and clear lid enable easy accessibility .

Ideal for electric utilities and optical cable installers, the splice enclosure is versatile and
cost-effective for new and existing installations .
Features
• Up to 144-fiber splice capacity, depending on cable design
• Customizable kit with no special re-entry kits required
• Splice tray constructed of high impact-resistant Lexan ®
SBO1 with 12 splice capacity tray • Manufactured of iron and steel; bullet-resistant
• Pre-mountable enabling easy re-entry and access

Peel and Seal Grommet Systems™
for Sealed Fiber Optic Closures
AFL Telecommunications in conjunction with Mar-Don Corporation has developed a new
cable sealing grommet technology for the AFL Sealed Fiber Optic Closures called “Peel and
Seal”. This improved sealing technology utilitizes MULTICENTRIC® Grommets that do away
with time consuming tasks such as installing washers and messy sealing tapes for cable
entry. MULTICENTRIC® Grommets are designed to accept a wide range of cable diameters,
eliminating the need to stock a variety of diameter-specific grommet kits.
Expandable to Support Various Cable Diameters
Conversion kits for the standard LG100, LG200, and LG300 closures allow this exciting
new grommet technology to be used without changing out the existing closure.
New closure models, LG-150, LG-250, and LG-350 are equipped from the factory with the
“Peel and Seal” grommet system.
Features
• All Peel and Seal Grommet Systems support loose tube, core tube, dielectric and armored
cable designs
• Installation and re-entry using common hand tools
• Accepts a wide range of cable diameters
Ease of Installation (no tapes, washers, or glue)
• Fast and easy to install
• Fits existing AFL sealed closures
• Fully sealed to protect fiber and splices ensuring longevity
• Full conversion kits and dual cable entry port kits
• Designed and tested to Telcordia™ GR-771 & RUS 515 closure requirements

Fiber Storage Units
AFL Fiber Storage Units (FSU) are used to conveniently and safely store an extra length
of cable along the support strand for later use. Furnished as pairs (kit contains two Fiber
Storage Units and two sets of hanger brackets), these FSU’s are constructed from either
aluminum with a baked acrylic enamel finish or dielectric poypropylene with a UV inhibitor.
All basic hardware for attachment to the support strand is provided. Strand mount support
brackets meet Telcordia® specifications. Galvanized strand clamping devices accommo-
date 1/4” to 7/16” strand and meet ASTM specifications A153 and B695.
Features
• Small profile and side facing channel minimizes ice and leaf loading
• Metal versions feature an all aluminum construction with welded cross members and
baked acrylic enamel paint finish with chromate pre-finish per MIL-6-5541-B
• Plastic versions feature thermoplastic polypropylene resin with carbon black UV inhibitor
• Basic hanging hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) and strand clamps all included
• Tie-wrap slots for securing cable from sliding
• Galvanized strand clamps accommodate 1/4” to 7/16” strand

Installation Instructions for

OPGW Dead End
1. Disassemble dead end. Remove one bolt from the same side of each keeper. Loosen other bolts to
permit conductor to be placed in the conductor groove. If keepers and bolts are removed completely,
care must be taken to return the keeper closest to the span end of the dead end to its original posi-
tion (chamfered edge towards span). Remove clevis hardware.
2. Straighten conductor removing set caused by reel.
3. Place conductor into groove and install dead end keepers with washers break-away bolts.
4. Care should be taken during installation to maintain the keepers squarely on the conductor with
equal clearance on both sides of conductor.
5. Starting at the span end of the dead end, follow the tightening sequence shown below, tighten all
bolts to approximately 5 ft.-lbs. (7 Nm for metric). Repeat to approximately 25 ft.-lbs. (33 Nm for
metric). Then final pass until break-away head breaks off. The sequential pattern is set up to equalize
the load in each bolt and to prevent the deadend keepers from cocking to one side during installa-
tion.

6. If cable guide is not supplied, proceed to step 8. Cable guide, if used, is provided to insure that mini-
mum bending radius of OPGW is not violated. Care should be exercised to avoid undue stress on cable
guide. Note: cable guide is not a structural member and adds nothing to the holding strength of the
clamp. Train conductor to make it bottom along the cable guide groove. This is important to assure
clearance for the link plate/connecting hardware.
7. After placing conductor into cable guide groove, install cable guide keeper with washers and break-
away bolts alternately tightening bolts per Steps 4 and 5.
8. Install connecting hardware with dead end clevis bolt. Check for clearance with conductor.

AFL Bolted Deadend (See page 3)
“One end” applications require two dampers at one end of the span with the first damper spaced a
distance “D” from the end or mouth of the deadend and the second damper spaced a distance “D”
from the first damper attachment point. “Both ends” applications require two dampers at each end of
the span with the first damper spaced a distance “D” from the end or mouth of the deadend and the
second damper spaced “D” distance from the first damper attachment point.
Formed Wire Deadend (See page 33)

“One end” applications require two dampers at one end of the span with the first damper placed at the
end of the armor rods and the second damper spaced a distance “D” from the first damper attachment
point. “Both ends” applications require two dampers at each end of the span with the first damper
placed at the end of the armor rods and the second damper spaced a distance “D” from the first
damper attachment point.
NOTE: For those spans with a deadend at one end and a suspension unit at the other, a damper
application required at one end should be applied to the suspension side of the span. Depending on
the type of suspension unit, refer to the appropriate damper placement instructions listed previously.
1. Loosen the bolt so that the clamp may be opened sufficiently to permit cable entry into the clamp
groove.
NOTE: The bolt need not be removed.
2. Hang the damper on the OPGW at the proper spacing specified and tighten the bolt finger tight.
3. Tighten the bolt with a suitable wrench until the break-away head shears off.
Note: The table to the right provides the typical clamp, bolt diameters, and break-away torque range
for the OPGW dampers.

OPGW Ground Clamp
1. Clean both run and tap conductors over the length to be clamped with a wire brush to remove oxides.
2. Place connector halves on the conductor, being careful to place the recommended run and tap
conductor in the proper clamp groove and to distribute the alnox evenly over the conductor.
3. Bolt bonding P.G. clamp on conductors. Use a backup wrench to restrain the head of the bolt while
tightening hardware to avoid bending the fiber optic composite cables. Tighten bolts to the recom-
mended installation torque. (1/2” Bolt: 20-25 lbf-ft, M14 bolt: 27-34 Nm)
4. Do not remove alnox that squeezes out when clamp is tightened.
CAUTION: In order to avoid damage to the fiber optic composite cables, it is

essential that they be clamped only in the recommended grooves and
that the bolts be tightened only to the recommended installation torque.

OCA Series Comealongs for Optical Ground Wire
Unused Comealongs
1. Loosen bolts so that the comealong may be opened sufficiently. Check for cleanliness of bore and
permit cable entry into the cable groove.
2. Position the comealong a minimum of 10 feet from the dead end being installed.
3. Place the cable into the conductor groove of the comealong, then close the comealong and finger
tighten the bolts.
4. Using a torque wrench, tighten bolts in sequence from bail end to nose of the comealong (see dia-
gram below). It will take a minimum of 6 passes to achieve the correct torque on each bolt. On the
first pass, tighten the bolts to 80% of the target torque (1/2” bolt - 32 lb ft). On each subsequent pass,
tighten the bolts to the target torque (1/2” bolt - 40 lb ft), ensuring proper clamping force is achieved.
Used Comealongs
1. Before each job, thoroughly clean the comelaong and closely inspect for nicked or rough cable
grooves, cracked body, bent eye bolts, or damaged bail. If any damage is found, the comealong should
be disposed of or sent to ACA for rework and recertification.
2. After cleaning, each comealong should be subjected to a pull test equal to the rated strength stamped
on the comealong.
3. Follow sequence 1 through 4 for Unused Comealongs above.
Bail end of
comealong Nose end of

LOAD RATING: Maximum tension limit is 50% of the rated strength of the OPGW or
5,000 pounds, whichever value is smaller.
WARNING: Comealongs are not intended for use as dead ends and are not recom-
mended to hold conductors at sag tension limits for longer than 6 hours.
