ULTRA LIGHT line of special optical cables is designed to provide remote control of highly maneuverable and tactical highly mobile robot, UGV, UAV and others drone systems (Provisional Application #63/563,701 - 03/11/2024)

A method for manufacturing a tactical fiber-optic cable, the method comprising:

• providing one or more optical fibers compliant with ITU-T G.657A1, G.657A2 or G.651.1 standards;
• coating the fibers with acrylate paint per IEC 60304 using painting machines operating at approximately 2500 meters per minute;
• applying high-density aramid yarns (e.g. 660 dtex) as strength members around the coated fibers;
• extruding a flame-retardant, low-smoke halogen-free (LSZH) polymer sheath over the aramid yarns using an extrusion line operating at speeds no greater than 70 meters per minute;
• winding the finished cable onto reels at a rate of 30 meters per minute into standard lengths;
• testing the cable's optical performance using a reflectometer;
• and
• packaging the cable reels on standard pallets for shipment;
• wherein the method produces a cable optimized for mechanical durability, electromagnetic resistance, and compact tactical deployment.
