ChimeraX™ Military fielded linking fibre optic cable

Hermesys ChimeraX™ Military linking fiber optic cable is extremely strong, lightweight, rugged and survivable military fiber optic cable.

In addition to durability, this military cable had to efficiently transmit previously unprecedented volumes of data in the field.

Features and Benefits

  • Rugged, tight-buffered fiber optic cable construction for the highest possible survivability in severe crush, impact, vehicle run-over, deployment and retrieval conditions.
  • Crush resistant and resilient, with two separate layers of aramid strength members in the sub-cables for individual single fiber connector and termination pin and overall for termination of multi-way connector back-shells or other housing.
  • Polyurethane jacketed for abrasion, cut and chemical resistance.
  • Suitable for industrial, mining and petrochemical environments chemical resistant.
