Ultra Low Loss Optical Fiber Cable Assemblies.

Abstract

Progress toward development of ruggedized ultra low loss (<8.0 db/km) optical fiber cable assemblies consisting of six optical fibers is reported. Effort involves investigations of fiber, cabling, and connector development on an individual as well as combined basis for meeting requirements of tactical tdm communication systems. During this reporting period final cable assemblies were fabricated, fiber and cable optimization for low temperature performance and impact survivability was completed, jacket polyurethane materials were evaluated, and connector/receptacle development work was finalized.
