M85045 Shipboard Fiber Cable
Shipboard LSZH Fiber Optic Cables use a tight buffered, water blocked construction with low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH) jacketing materials. Adhering to the United States Department of Defense MIL-PRF-85045 specification document, FIS Blue offers these cables in one, four and eight fiber configurations.
The optical fiber cable component (OFCC) consists of an optical fiber with a 900 micron diameter tight buffer, reinforced with aramid yarn and encased in a 2.0 mm flexible zero-halogen jacket. The fibers are radiation-resistant and qualified per the applicable MIL-PRF-49291 specification document to ensure system survivability in the event of radiation exposure.
This family of cables has passed a stringent qualification program to ensure full compliance to the MIL-PRF- 85045F document and the applicable specification sheets. The program includes tests such as acid gas generation, halogen content, smoke generation and flame propagation, toxicity, fluid immersion, thermal shock, humidity, electromagnetic resistance, low/high pressure salt water blocking and many other highly demanding requirements.
FIS Blue shipboard fiber optic cables are watertight, flexible and Gigabit-ready.
Spec Sheet: FIS Blue LSZH Fiber Optic Shipboard Cable
1. CENTRAL STRENGTH MEMBER
Dielectric epoxy/fiberglass rod.
2. FIBER
Multimode or single-mode fibers.
3. BUFFER
Easily-strippable 900 micron tight buffer.
4. OFCC STRENGTH MEMBER
Aramid yarn with water blocking.
5. OFCC JACKET
Low-smoke zero-halogen thermoplastic.
6. CABLING
OFCC subunits are bundled with strands of a waterblocking yarn, wrapped in a water blocking tape and encased in waterblocked aramid yarn.
7. JACKET
Low-smoke zero-halogen polyolefin for resistance to chemicals, fluids, fungus and abrasion and is available in either thermoplastic or thermoset versions. The cross-linked thermoset version is more rugged with increased resistance to thermal aging, fluids and abrasion.
