Compression-type Fittings
ACFR® uses compression type fittings that are very similar to those for ACSR. The length of the dead-end clamp/splice are 1.5 times longer than those for ACSR's in general. No special tools or equipment is required. A notable difference is that a soft aluminum buffer tube, or the bottom layer of the aluminum depending on design, is used to grip the stranded carbon fiber core. The installer shall consult with the hardware manufacturer for their recommendation and installation procedures.
