Reliable and Flexible Fiber Optic Cables for Flight Simulators
SteelFlex Armored Cables for Flight Simulators are more Reliable and Flexible
OptoSpan’s SteelFlex Armored ruggedized fiber optic cables can be an excellent choice for flight simulators because they provide an extra layer of protection against physical damage and provide reliable high-speed data transmission and secure fiber optic connections. 
Flight simulators may expose ordinary fiber optic cables to high levels of vibration, shock, potential abrasion, and temperature fluctuations, which can damage the ordinary cable and affect the performance and reliability of the fiber optic connections within the simulator. The SteelFlex Armored Fiber Optic Cables can help mitigate these challenges.
The SteelFlex Armored fiber optic cables for flight simulators feature an extremely flexible but very strong steel armor layer, which provides additional protection against physical damage. In addition to their physical protection features, OptoSpan’s SteelFlex Armored fiber optic cables can also provide enhanced EMI protection, which can be particularly important in flight simulator applications where electromagnetic interference can cause disruptions in the communications.
The steel armor shell of the SteelFlex armored cable can also help withstand crushing, twisting, and other forms of deformation that may occur during installation or use. In general, these armored cables feature standard fiber optic connectors such as LC, SC, ST, FC, MTP, or MPO. However, they can also be designed with specialty connectors such as the MIL-DTL-38999 connector, which is often used in aerospace and military applications.
When it comes to ruggedized fiber optic cables for flight simulators, there are several factors to consider, such as the level of protection required, the type of connector needed, and the length of the cable required. The type of connector needed for ruggedized fiber optic cables for flight simulators will depend on the specific requirements of the simulation system.
The length of the cable required for a flight simulator will depend on the size and layout of the simulator. It is important to ensure that the cable length is sufficient for the application, while also providing a level of flexibility to accommodate any changes or modifications to the simulator.
Our engineers will collaborate closely with you to design Custom SteelFlex Armored Cables that meet the requirements of your simulator.
In summary, OptoSpan’s SteelFlex Armored fiber optic cables can be an excellent choice for flight simulators, providing the speed, reliability, and durability needed for a demanding environment.
