OPTIC CABLE TRIED OUT BESIDE BUSY ELECTRIFIED LINE

A test installation of optical-fiber cable has been made by British Railways to determine the application of such communication circuits in areas where electrical interference from electrification can be a problem with metallic conductors. The installation is separate from BR communications in the 1-km test segment and is intended to monitor the quality of signal transmission through the optical cable. The cable is more than adequate for BR's data-handling requirements.
