Application of fiber-optic technology for shipboard systems poses a very challenging and difficult task of the development of transmission cables. Fiber-optic cables for shipboard applications are one of the most complex and demanding to design and manufacture. The stringent design specification is primarily derived from the consideration of safety of personal aboard ship, and the operation, reliability and survivability of the shipboard systems. Shipboard fiber-optic cables with a low/no-halogen thermoplastic jacket material have been developed. Cable designs with different fiber counts were manufactured and evaluated using the existing specifications. This paper presents the cable design and performance results. The design, development, and performance evaluation of fiber-optic cables with one-, four-, and eight-fibers for shipboard systems have been completed. The cables either meet or surpass the requirements specified in MIL-C-0085045D (Navy) specification.
