Design, Fabrication and Testing of a Ruggedized Fiberoptic Cable,
Abstract
This paper presents the design and manufacture of a small size, lightweight, all dielectric cable suitable for easy deployment and recovery in cross-country terrain. Intended as the data and communication link between a battlefield radio station and a jeep-mounted radio system, the cable is composed of two optical fibers twisted together, around which are applied two contrahelically wound layers of Kevlar yarns, an inner jacket, two more contrahelical layers of Kevlar yarns, followed by an outer jacket.
