Specialty Fiber Optic Cables
Specialty cables need to be fully qualified and monitored to validate their performance during the manufacturing operation.
Specialty fiber optic cables are designed to meet the severe requirements of special applications which by far exceed the performance requirements of standard telecom cables.
The optical fiber cable performance is critical to the delivery and retrieval of large amounts data from oil wells, civil engineering superstructures or unmanned submarines (ROV’s) performing complex repairs.
DITEST-STA - distributed strain monitoring
Since strain has a detrimental effect on the bit rate capability of the cable and the fiber lifetime, manufacturers and designers use Omnisens DITEST-STA instrument to ensure that the integrity of the fiber is maintained during and after cabling. The instrument is also used to perform in-situ continuous cable performance monitoring in stringent conditions of daily operation.
