Specialty Fiber Optic Cables
Specialty cables need to be fully qualified and monitored to validate their performance during the manufacturing operation.
 |
Specialty fiber optic cables are designed to meet the severe requirements of special applications which by far exceed the performance requirements of standard telecom cables. |
| The optical fiber cable performance is critical to the delivery and retrieval of large amounts data from oil wells, civil engineering superstructures or unmanned submarines (ROV’s) performing complex repairs. |
Speciality cable - monitoring approach
Since strain has a detrimental effect on the performance of the cable and the fiber lifetime, manufacturers and designers use Omnisens DITEST STA-R instrument to ensure that the integrity of the fiber is maintained during and after cabling.
