When a very expensive roll of fiber optic cable was damaged during shipping, we got a rare opportunity to see exactly what’s inside fiber optic cable designed for extreme environments.
In this video, we break down the structure of fiber-in-metal-tube (FIMT) fiber optic cable used for distributed temperature sensing in Antarctica. From the outer jacket and metal braid to the tiny metal tube and glass fibers inside, we walk through how these cables are built to survive ice sheets, harsh weather, and long-term field deployments.
This cable is part of a project sending instruments through an ice sheet to measure temperature profiles using fiber optics. While fiber optic sensing is becoming more common in geophysics, many people never get to see how these cables are actually constructed or repaired.
If you’re interested in field instrumentation, fiber optics, geophysics, or engineering for extreme environments, this video gives a close look at the real hardware behind the data.
