Tactical Fiber Optic Cable Assembly (TFOCA)

Multimode and Singlemode Tactical Fiber Optic Cable Assembly (TFOCA)

Overview
The Tactical Fiber Optic Cable Assembly (TFOCA) provides the physical connection between Fiber Optic Modems (FOMs), repeaters or other equipment capable of electronic to optical conversion. The TFOCA is a ruggedized, lightweight and tactically superior fiber optic cable that replaces existing CX-11230 coaxial cable.

Description
The TFOCA was specifically designed for quick and easy deployment in rugged, harsh environments. It was engineered to satisfy the stringent environmental and mechanical requirements for United States military tactical operations.

The cables consist of radiation-hardened multimode or singlemode optical fibers enclosed in an outer jacket of flame retardant polyurethane. An inner strength laid of aramid yarn ensures superior tensile loading and crush resistant properties.
