This topic discusses the OFSCN® 300°C Seamless Steel Tube Optical Cable, also known as 300°C Fiber In Metal Tube (FIMT). This specialized high-temperature cable is engineered for both communication and sensing in extreme environments.
Technical Overview
The OFSCN® 300°C Seamless Steel Tube Fiber Cable utilizes a single-layer seamless stainless steel tube (typically 304 or 316L) to protect the internal optical fibers.
Key Parameters:
- Operating Temperature: Rated for stable performance up to 300°C.
- Fiber Type: Internally equipped with OFSCN® 300℃ Polyimide Optical Fiber. These fibers use a polyimide coating to prevent degradation at high temperatures.
- Mechanical Protection: The seamless tube provides excellent resistance to lateral pressure and tensile stress. Standard diameters are typically 2.0mm or 3.0mm, with custom dimensions like 1/8 inch or 1/16 inch available.
- Connectivity: Can be fusion-spliced or provided with pre-installed FC/APC connectors.
Applications
- Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing: Ideal as a sensor for Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) or Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) based on Raman, Rayleigh, or Brillouin scattering.
- Specialized Communication: Reliable data transmission in aerospace, geothermal energy, or industrial oil and gas environments where traditional polymer cables would fail.
