Fiber Optic Testing Enhancement for Cost Reduction

  • Fiber Optic Testing Enhancement for Cost Reduction
Overview

Fiber Optic Testing Enhancement for Cost Reduction (2016-416)

Project Team:

  • KITCO Fiber Optics (KFO)
  • Naval Systems Warfare Center - Carderock (NSWCC)
  • Newport News Shipbuilding
  • Ingalls Shipbuilding
  • EXFO North America

2016

NSRP ASE Investment: $150K

Objective:

This project investigated the potential for Fiber Optic Testing Enhancement for Cost Reduction by evaluating the commercial practice of using an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) to replace the Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS) and Optical Return Loss Meter (ORLM) in performance of Mil-Std-2042-6B required testing for shipboard installations. In addition, the OTDR test results provided enhanced data that is not currently captured resulting in reduced time for system acceptance and identification of potential faults for expedited troubleshooting and repair during construction.

Request Final Report from NSRP– Distribution is Limited to the Fiber Optic Test Enhancement for Cost Reduction Project Team. All Other Distribution is Restricted.

   NSRP is co-funded by the U.S. Shipbuilding Industry and U.S. Navy
