FOSS (Fiber Optic Sensor System) FDM (Feasibility Demonstration Model) Electrooptical Tow Cable Termination
Abstract
This document contains the oral and visual presentation entitled FOSS FDM Electrooptical Tow Cable Termination, presented at the Undersea Fiber Optic Cable Systems (UFOCS) Workshop, Johns Hopkins University, Laurel, Maryland, 16 May 1983. A successful termination of the FOSS FDM Electrooptical Tow Cable has been demonstrated. This quadruple armored steel tow cable, whose core contains three wires and three multimode optical fibers, was mechanically, electrically, and optically terminated within a pressure-proof nose cone. Optical throughput losses of less than 2.0 dB per connection have been achieved using Hughes optical contacts. Tensile and pressure testing has verified the termination's performance.
