FiberSafe™ Technology system

---

FiberSafe™ is a patented technology platform that holistically addresses the inherent drawbacks of existing subsea fiber optic systems. The technology platform provides robust and inherently reliable end-to-end harsh environment fiber optic communication network architecture that is CAPEX friendly with affordable subsea fiber optic hardware.

Harsh  environment cables such as submarine/ telecom cables have demonstrated  exceptional reliability, primarily due to its  construction involving  protective layers housing the optical fibers.  But, existing subsea fiber optic systems involve  elimination  of those protective layers with, optical fiber break-out,  complicated  feed-through, and harsh environment loading (including  differential  pressure loading) of the fragile optical fibers. Additionally, the cable  sealing equipment is non-pressure balanced with blind seals  that cannot be tested prior to deployment. From a commercial standpoint,  existing industry solutions are a) bulky with larger footprint b)  non-value adding supply chain and associated risks c) expensive overall  system cost. 

FiberSafe™ technology is based on a simple premise that optical fibers shall be protectively maintained without being exposed to harsh environment. As a result, optical fibers integrity is preserved from source (such as topsides) to end-instrument (such as subsea equipment).

Optical fibers in the entire network are protected from the effects of harsh environment, by hermetic tubes, protective storage, hermetic manifold, and hermetic fiber connector contact tube string in a gel filled non-pressurized environment. Furthermore, the above stated optical fiber protecting boundaries are isolated from seawater by sealed housings containing pressure balancing benign fluid.

This technology is applicable to any harsh environment i.e., subsea application, land based oil and gas application (shale), harsh terrestrial, space and aerospace.

This novel approach and technology building blocks enables configurable, application suited affordable solutions in comparison to cost-prohibitive status-quo exposed fiber systems.
