Title: Delivering high speed communications into harsh environments

Journal Article · · Coal Age
OSTI ID:20947375

For those who believe that information is power, extending an organization's knowledge base throughout the entire enterprise can not help but improve operations. Until recently, though, field operations were often left out of the loop, as extending high-bandwidth communications into harsh environments often proved impossible. The article, submitted by Optical Cable Corp., describes development of a tight-buffered fibre optic cable designed for harsh underground mining conditions. CONSOL has installed almost 100 miles of the cable across 10 different installations. 1 fig., 1 photo.
