Fiber Optic for Nuclear Applications
Nuclear Fiber Optic Cables
These rugged yet lightweight cable constructions are built to conform to industry standards and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) guidelines. The cables are made with materials that meet IEEE 383, IEEE 1202, and other flame ratings commonly used in the nuclear industry. They are available in an array of fiber types, including single-mode and multimode varieties, as well as specialty fibers such as BendBright® bend-insensitive, radiation-resistant fiber.

Radiation Hardened Optical Fiber
Nuclear facilities are a prominent example of environments where radiation is present, but they are not the only applications that involve the emission, transmission, or absorption of radiation. Prysmian’s RadHard family of radiation-hardened optical fibers offers a range of single-mode and multimode solutions designed to combat Radiation Induced Attenuation (RIA) from both short-term and prolonged exposure. These fibers are also engineered to recover from radiation events.
Additionally, our fibers can be designed to withstand extreme temperatures, making them suitable for demanding conditions such as submarines, high-energy physics facilities, or outer space. RadHard fibers can be incorporated into many of our cable designs, not just those that comply with NRC guidelines.
If you have specific requirements, please get in touch with us to learn about other RadHard fiber types that may be available.
