Columbia Regional Business Report: Prysmian lands $2M contract to provide fiber optic cables for aircraft carrier
Prysmian Group has been awarded more than $2 million in contracts for the procurement phase of the new aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy.
Prysmian, which has its North America headquarters in Lexington, will supply hundreds of kilometers of fiber optic cables that prevent water from migrating through the vessel and will improve onboard data networks and automation systems. The cables use radiation-hardened optical fiber and have cross-linked polyolefin jackets for increased durability.
