  • Abstract
    An extensive telecommunication network of 6000 km of optical ground wire (OPGW) is currently planned by HydroQuebec for progressive installation from 1992 to 2004. By 1994, about 1600 km of OPGW have already been purchased and installed mostly on new 735 kV power lines. This document provides information relative to the OPGW selection, characteristics, design, fabrication, and testing. Other sections are devoted to the installation experience, anf description of current and future R&D OPGW projects
