ABSTRACT:
An armored fiber optic cable is disclosed having both fiber optics and ar wires located outside the cable core in position where the fiber optics experience low strain when the cable is under stress. In one embodiment, metal armor wires and optical fibers embedded in metal tubes are arrayed in one or more layers about and outside the cable core. In another embodiment, KEVLAR armor wires and optical fibers embedded within a hard composite shell are arrayed in one or more layers about and outside the cable core, and a layer of KEVLAR armor is provided surrounding the one or more layers. In each of the embodiments the strains that the fiber optics experience due to core stresses and due to core residual strain is materially reduced over the heretofore known armored fiber optic cables.
