The cable was developed by BRUGG Cables in 1998 out of a request for a Fiber Optic cable to meet a Swiss Army requirement. The specification stated that the cable was to be laid in outdoor battlefield environments, and both cable and connectors had to be resistant to rodent attacks, etc.
BRUGG's solution is a hermetically sealed cable boasting a high tensile strength and complete resistance to both natural and chemical attacks.
This new backpack- and vehicle-deployed with 1-2-4 or 8 fibers was designed specifically to provide mobile field units with a tough and durable landline for battlefield communications.
lt comes in useful lengths of 400-2500 meters per drum, assembled with any type of special 'soldier-proof' optical lens or other standard connectors that are assembled in a certified clean room environment.
Several thousand kilometres of the BRUGG MILLE Fiber Optic cables are in service with the Swiss Army, other European-, NATO- and overseas Armed Forces. It has a stock number in the NATO and in Germany, etc.
