AFL's high quality standards for design, testing and manufacturing utilize
the highest-grade materials available to ensure maximum reliability and
performance
AFL's high quality standards for design, testing and manufacturing utilize
the highest-grade materials available to ensure maximum reliability and
performance. By partnering with power utilities and carriers, AFL's
engineers have developed unique high fiber count designs while maintaining
small diameters. AFL OPT-GW is designed with a broad selection of
conductivity, short circuit rating, strength, and weight ratings to meet
even the strictest applications requirements. Incorporating the latest high
bandwidth fiber optic technology, AFL OPT-GW is ideal for voice, data, and
video communications.
As the only OPT-GW manufacturer that produces its own accessory hardware,
AFL is able to provide you with a total system solution with its complete
turnkey packages. AFL engineers will help you determine the perfect OPT-GW
cable to fit your needs. Then, AFL will design, manufacture, and install the
cable and hardware for your system, enabling receipt of quality products
from one supply source. OPT-GW, placed at the highest point on power utility
structures, offers a secure right-of-way and an extraordinary level of
reliability. Its optical performance has proven to be superior and
trouble-free throughout its long life.
