Existing fibres within the cockpit of a flight simulator were being broken due to “jack-knifing” during the removal and replacement of the individual Cockpit Modules (CPM’s).
To Replace existing fibres which were being jack-knifed within the simulator cockpits.
Our engineers incorporated 4 x 1.5mm stainless steel Alker Micro Armoured fibre optic cables within a 5.5mm diameter jacket, the individual armoured tailed breakout, terminated with the termini provided the strength and flexibility essential to protect against the damage caused by the jack-knifing.
· Terminated directly from the stainless steel to MIL-SPEC fibre optic ferrules
· We achieved very tight tolerances between all four ferrules
· We designed the assembly so it could be repaired or re-polished if damaged in service
· We improved the flexibility of the fibre optic breakout tails to bend within tight spaces
· We reduced the diameter by more than half the existing solution.
