Optical Fiber Cables deliver tactical durability.
At 0.8 mm dia, Micro-Links (-µlinx™) cables deliver tactical durability for use in manned/unmanned vehicles. Aircraft-specific -µlinx Avionics cables weigh 0.7 g/m and feature braided aramid yarn and -65 to 150°C performance range. ETFE cable jacket resists abrasion and chemicals. With Hytrel® jacket over underlying aramid yarn, -µlinx Tether cables suit ground vehicles. Both designs are...
Read More »Hollow-Core Optical Fiber suits high precision gyroscopes.
Employing air-filled core surrounded by glass webbing, Hollow-Core Fiber allows light to propagate through free space rather than solid glass core. Radiation hardened fiber can be bent and coiled to tight bend radius while guiding light. Single-spatial-mode forces light to take only single path, enabling high bandwidth and low noise. Orientation of light waves is fixed in fiber, which is...

Designed for 100 Gbps coherent transport in submarine systems for distances up to 12,000 km, TeraWave™ ULA Ocean Fiber has effective area- of 153 -µm-²- that reduces nonlinearities. This enables launch of higher signal power into span as well as low attenuation- - (0.176 dB/km at 1,550 nm)- that reduces signal loss. Nonlinearity performance and spectral efficiency increase in shorter...
