Naval Research Laboratory Array Cable Qualifying Test Program.
Abstract
In 1993, Neptune Technologies designed and fabricated two prototype array cables under NRL's support. Briefly, these two generic cables consisted of a monolay construction utilizing 18 singles and atwisted pair construction incorporating seven twisted pairs. Each conductor core was strengthened with an overbraid of Kevlar, then one core was jacketed with a braided sleeve of polyester which incorporated a fuzz type fairing, while the monocore incorporated an extruded jacket with a straked strum suppressor. The essence of the new cables are small AWG26 conductors insulated with a thin coating of Surlyn. These much smaller conductors are expected to provide a smaller cable with higher reliability./ See Neptune Report dated December 32,1993, entitled Prototype Cable Final Technical Report.
