Fiber Optic Cable Hardware Test.
Abstract
The work reported here parallels work previously reported in NELC TR 1869, 'Fiber Optic Cable Test,' by R. L. Lebduska, 12 March 1973. These reports conclude that plastic-jacketed cables and related cable hardware of current manufacture meet a wide range of environmental and physical property requirements for Navy equipment application. Low-optical-loss fiber optic cable is found to be inferior in mechanical strength to high-optical-loss cable. Tests of separable, in-line, coaxial cable connectors indicate a need for optical junction environmental sealing at the connector mating interface. Polyvinylchloride materials are found to be much more permeable to water vapor than equivalent Teflon jackets. (Author)
