Application of fiber-optic technology can significantly enhance the operational capability of a ship. Ship designers and builders have already placed fiber-optic systems aboard ships to take advantage of the inherent attributes of fiber-optic technology. A fiber-optic cable's small size allows for substantial weight reduction and increases usable interior space. The characteristics of optical fiber provides for very high bandwidth, low noise-to-signal ratio, and immunity to EMP/EMI/RFI (electromagnetic pulse, electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference). The present trend is towards radiation-hardened 62.5/125 micron graded index multimode and single-mode fibers to take advantage of these fibers' characteristics. In any case, the impressive features of fiber-optic systems when matched to shipboard requirements, not only enhance system performance, but also increasse system reliability and survivability. This paper describes a shipboard fiber-optic cable design and presents some tests results.
