A tactical deployable cable is provided. The cable includes a fiber optic unit. The fiber optic unit includes a plurality of optical fibers, each of the plurality of optical fibers having a maximum nominal outer diameter of less than or equal to about 250 microns. The fiber optic unit further includes a UV cured resin layer surrounding and encapsulating the plurality of optical fibers. The fiber optic unit further includes a thermoplastic elastomer buffer layer surrounding the UV cured resin layer. The cable may include a thermoplastic jacket surrounding the fiber optic unit, and a plurality of strength members disposed between the jacket and the fiber optic unit.

Tactical deployable cables

A sensing cable is provided which includes exposed and/or unexposed optical fibers or wires disposed through the length of the sensing cable. The sensing cable includes a slotted core which is a one-piece integral member having a plurality of channels formed on a perimeter of the slotted core and which extend along a length of the slotted core. The sensing cable includes at least one exposed component which is disposed in a first channel of the plurality of channels and which extends along a length of the first channel. The sensing cable includes at least one unexposed component which is encased by a protective member, and the unexposed component and the protective member are disposed in a second channel of the plurality of channels. The unexposed component and the protective member extend along a length of the second channel.

Sensing cable

A cable including an outer metal tube and a first layer wire inside the outer metal tube, wherein the first layer wire has five inner elements surrounding a metallic center member and at least one of the inner elements is a metal tube containing an optical fiber.
