OFS announced a fiber cable optimized for inflight entertainment, internet access, networking and display systems used in commercial aircraft.
OFS FlightLinx PLUS Fiber Optic Cable is a 1.8 mm ruggedized single jacket cable designed to meet or exceed ARINC 802 performance requirements without the need for a double jacket.
The company says the cable's construction consists of a tight buffered fiber within a loose structure cable which allows for reliable pull-proof termination and helps prevent kinking, epoxy wicking and fiber breakage during and after deployment. The buffer tube provides additional crush and impact protection for harsh installations in aircraft.
OFS is showcasing the cable at the Paris Airshow.
