NASA/GSFC reliability evaluation of high temperature fiber optic cablesA high temperature (200 C rating) fiber-optic cable of fluorocarbon, silica-based glass, and polyimide coating, 100-micron core was evaluated for Goddard Space Flight Center applications. Testing was performed to evaluate attenuation characteristics of the cables during environmental stresses and exposure to Co-60 gamma radiation. The cables passed environmental tests, but after irradiation failed the established delta limit of 3 dB at 10 krads for a wavelength of 850 nm and 100 krads for a wavelength of 1300 nm.
