Offshore Optics Products

Our range of 6 and 12 way fibre optic connectors were developed for use mainly in harsh and marine applications. Connectors can be supplied as multi-mode or single-mode and come factory pre-terminated to tails of any length as required by the customer. Cables used are Offshore Optics own harsh environment, chemical and fire resistant cable. All connectors are made from 316 stainless steel and have been fully tested and certified to EN 61300 for vibration, water penetration, mating durability and cable retention.

The connectors are used widely in LNG FPSO & LNG Terminals worldwide, but can lend themselves to virtually any harsh environment, corrosive or field deployment application.

Ship to Shore Fibre Optic Communication Link systems (FOSSL) have been in use between LNG Terminals and Tankers since the introduction of the SIGTTO "Recommendations and Guidelines for Linked Ship/Shore Emergency Shut-Down of Liquefied Gas Cargo Transfer in 1987". The systems are used to communicate ESD signals, telecommunications, hotline and data transfer. 

The fixed shore side cable running from the control room to the jetty mounted cable reel is typically 150m long but can be supplied longer if required.
