Abstract
Historically, coaxial and shielded twisted pair cables have found widespread usage for high frequency data transmission within satellites, military systems, and avionics applications. As data rates continue to increase, copper-based cable transmission is reaching its practical limit, and out of necessity system designers are implementing optic-based systems. To meet performance objectives, system designers need to understand the behavior of fiber optic cable assemblies in harsh environments
