Kevlar Coaxial Cable Development,

Abstract

The primary objective of this program is to develop a reliable 8.5 kilometer length of reinforced, torque-free coaxial cable with the ability to endure many thousands of bending cycles over small diameter sheaves. A braided, aramid fiber, Kevlar-reinforced, coaxial cable that had outstanding performance characteristics was developed for this specific application.
