Blolite® Blown Optical Fiber Technology
General Cable was the first fiber manufacturer to become a Qualified Parts Listed (QPL)
supplier of a militarized version of blown optical fiber technology (BOFT) in September of
2001.
General Cable’s Blolite® blown optical fiber technology was first installed on the aircraft
carrier USS Harry Truman in 1997. Early proof of successful use of this technology and
its future-proof capabilities, for which it was designed, resulted in the formal development
and qualification of the technology for the U.S. Navy. Expanding requirements for the use
of optical fiber applications on U.S. Navy vessels has resulted in an increased use of
General Cable’s Blolite® high-performance technology that is the preferred solution which
offers the only real future-proof infrastructure solution.
Key developments in military shipboard fiber optic technology have been the digitization
of command, control and communication systems over a common infrastructure. This
convergence has enabled significant savings in space and weight as well as greatly
improved system functionality and damage tolerance. Blown optical fiber technology has
furthered these advances by adding opportunities for cost savings, easy upgradeability
and design flexibility.
General Cable’s Blolite® blown optical fiber solution has proven to be the SOLUTION for
the U.S. Navy fleet.
