Producing quality products drives our research and development. Through innovation in R&D, we have built a metal-encased customizable solution for the most demanding environments. We can now offer custom single-layer fiber optic cables that extend to 50 km. Every component of the solution will be customized to best match your challenge, from the optical fiber, the fiber count, the materials, design, dimensions, measurements, and the various protective techniques we apply to ensure the FIMT thrives in the unique conditions of the application. The customizable 50 km single layer steel tube is an achievement in production that directly benefits you. It reduces connection on long-haul installations, especially in challenging environments, such as subsea and direct-buried installations. Therefore, the Single Layer FIMT is an ideal submarine offshore cable for the Marine Industry and a component for umbilical cable solutions in the Oil & Gas Industry; it’s also excellent within Optical Ground Wire (OPGW). The metal-encased solution offers Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). 192 fibers fit in a single layer steel tube if they have an OD of 200µm and 144 fibers if they have an OD of 250µm.
