The Hermesys ChimeraX™ Military Field Cable is a rugged, tight-buffered fiber optic cable for temporary field connections in harsh environments. Its dual-layer armoured construction is built for the highest survivability against crush, impact, and vehicle run-over during deployment and retrieval.
Key Features and Benefits
- Two layers of aramid strength members reinforce the fiber sub-cables and overall cable, adding crush and tensile resistance
- A stainless steel tube and outer stainless steel braid give the tight-buffered fiber added crush and impact protection
- Polyurethane jacketing resists abrasion, cuts, and chemicals, suiting industrial, mining, and petrochemical environments
- Rated from -40°C to +80°C operation, the cable performs reliably across extreme field temperature swings
- High short-term tensile and crush ratings (≥1000N, ≥3000N/100mm) support repeated deployment and retrieval without damaging the fiber
- Available in 1, 2, or 4 fiber counts to match different field connectivity requirements
- A lightweight design keeps the cable easy to deploy and retrieve without adding unnecessary weight in the field
Typical Applications
- Military Field Communications
- Temporary Field Deployment and Retrieval
