High-speed underwater remote control coil with fiber optical communication line
A new type of coil for data connecting several moving high-speed underwater objects and implementing it coiling machine is proposed. Main feature of the new coil is a special way of coiling a fiber-optic microcable, ensuring its reliable release with minimal longitudinal and bending forces at high relative speeds of underwater objects, as well as the absence of the influence of these forces on the transmission capacity of the communication line. The article substantiates the need for the use of fiber-optic microcables for data connecting several moving high-speed underwater objects, highlighting its advantages over a metal conductor. The features of the formation technology of the formation of coils with fiber-optic microcable are considered in the article. A description of the layout of the machine that implements the proposed method of winding and the results of uncoiling tests with a fiber-optic microcable and optical fiber are given.
