Abstract

A wide range of potential applications for fiber optic cables is under consideration for Army communication systems. Two current US Army Electronics Command cable development programs (one for long haul TDM systems and the other for local distribution systems) are described in this paper. Design details are discussed at some length, and evaluation of theoretical, mechanical, and environmental characteristics of several constructions are given.
