Abstract:Optical fiber composite low voltage cable (OPLC) is an optimized way of carrying out the function of supplying electrical power and communication signals in a single cable. In this paper, the temperature and stress distribution in OPLC cable is analyzed by using the finite element method as the current increases to maximum capacity. The increase of temperature and stress are the two main factors that affect the additional attenuation in optical fiber. This additional attenuation can be reduced by selecting the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
