Investigation of mechanical stress applied to the optical modular cables at low temperatures

Abstract

This paper presents the investigate of mechanical loadings applied to the optical cables module structure at low temperatures. Mechanical loads experienced by the optical cable in the process of construction of fiber-optic communication lines, and in the course of their operation, are major factors affecting the reliability and service life optical cable. Over the past few years, optical cable modular design greatly supplanted other modifications, so in this article addresses the evaluation of mechanical loads applied to the modular design cables at low temperatures.
