SHIPBOARD FIBER OPTIC CABLES
raka Comteq USA, Inc.’s, qualified fiber optic shipboard
cables provide superior optical performance in a craftfriendly and flexible cable design.
D
Draka Comteq USA, Inc.’s, shipboard
fiber optic cables are designed using
a tight buffered, water-blocked
construction with low smoke, zerohalogen jacketing
materials.
Adhering to the United States
Department of Defense MIL-PRF85045F specification document,
Draka Comteq USA, Inc., offers these
cables in one, four and eight fiber
configurations. The optical fiber
cable component (OFCC) consists of
an optical fiber with a 900µm diameter tight buffer, reinforced with
aramid yarns, and encased in a
2.0mm flexible zero-halogen jacket.
In addition, Draka Comteq manufactures optical fibers that are radiation resistant and qualified
per the applicable MIL-F-49291 specification document to
insure system survivability in the event of radiation exposure.
This family of cables has passed a stringent qualification program
to insure full compliance to the MIL-PRF-85045F document and
the applicable specification sheets. The program includes
tests such as acid gas generation, halogen content, smoke
generation and flame propagation, toxicity, fluid immersion,
thermal shock, humidity, electromagnetic resistance, low/high
pressure salt water blocking and many other
highly demanding requirements. In addition
to the qualification program, the U.S.
Department of Defense closely monitors the
manufacturing process, the final cable testing and the periodic re-qualification tests
to insure the highest degree of product
quality.
These cables are available with either a
thermoplastic or a cross-linked, thermoset
LSZH outer jacket. The thermoplastic
jacketing system offers good resistance
to chemicals, fluids, fungus and abrasion;
offers low smoke, low toxic fumes and acid
gas generation. The cross-linked, thermoset
jacket is more rugged and offers improved
thermal aging and fluid resistance,improved
abrasion, scrape and cut through resistance and better flexibility
at cold temperature extremes. Draka Comteq USA, Inc.’s, unique
thermoset jacketing process provides an extremely rugged and
cost effective cable design while maintaining superior optical
performance and long term reliability.
