Avionic grade cable built for heat, vibration and flexing.

Avionic grade fiber optic cable

Optical fibers are extensively used in military aircraft, both as interconnects in electronic cards and as interconnects in aircraft frames. AVNOC (Avionic Non-Kink Optical Cable) was originally developed under Navy contract.

Linden’s avionic grade fiber optic cables are designed for the most rigorous avionic environment. AVNOC™ is built to survive the perils of aircraft confines such as high temperature, large temperature variations, high vibration and extreme flexing. Using our patented cable jacket construction designed to protect the fiber from harsh mechanical conditions, our cables are stronger, lighter and smaller than existing flight qualified cables.

Cables engineers specify here

A starting point — most projects end up with a configured or custom variant.

AVNOC avionic cable

Avionic Non-Kink Optical Cable that meets AS5382: a simple 3-layer extruded construction built to survive heat, vibration and extreme flexing.

Radiation hardened

RadHard fiber optic cables tested to ESCC 2263010, NASA-STD-8739.5 and SAE AS5382 for robust links in high radiation environments.

Patchcords

Harsh-environment patchcords that pair Linden cable constructions with industry-leading connectors, from deep ocean to outer space.

Ribbon cables

Multi-channel ribbon with a robust buffering system and a compact profile, in telecom or +125 °C temperature ratings.
