These cables with stainless steel sheath serve as lifelines in environments where organic insulated cables falter under extreme conditions. With resistance against radiation and electromagnetic interference, they guarantee accurate signal transmission, vital for the integrity of nuclear detection systems.
Customization lies at the heart of our offerings. From designs tailored to specific requirements to the construction of connectors able to withstand high pressures and temperatures, Photonis caters to diverse industries and applications.

The insulation materials used, such as magnesium oxide, ensure not only robust protection but also longevity, even in the face of fire / burn damage or heat. Moreover, adherence to rigorous standards and quality assurance programs underscores our commitment to excellence. Each type of MI cable undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets our stringent quality standards.

Furthermore, our processes encompass every stage, from core development to final installation, ensuring seamless integration into existing facilities.

With voltage fluctuations and external threats ever-present, the protection afforded by our cable extensions becomes indispensable. Each conductor meticulously crafted to withstand the rigors of nuclear environments, safeguarding not just data but also the integrity of operations.

In the domain of nuclear instrumentation, our commitment to safety and reliability extends to every facet of our solutions. Our mineral insulated cable extensions, often referred to as MI cables, epitomize this dedication. With their long-lasting performance and resistance to degradation, MI cables ensure optimal performance of many critical systems within nuclear plants throughout their life span.

At Photonis Nuclear Instrumentation, we understand the vital role MI cables play in safeguarding nuclear facilities. That's why we prioritize quality and accuracy in every design, providing peace of mind even in the most demanding environments. Our commitment extends to ensuring the reliability of every wire within our systems.

Enhancing Signal Integrity in the Nuclear Industry: The Importance of MI Cable Extensions

In the demanding environment of nuclear applications, reliable signal transmission is crucial for ensuring accurate data acquisition, maintaining system integrity, and maximizing system reliability. However, the extreme operating conditions often faced by neutron and gamma detectors inevitably leads to failure of conventional organic insulated cables, resulting in signal loss or degradation. This degradation results in a reduction of sensor defense-in-depth and subsequent repairs can extend reactor downtime.

To address this challenge, Photonis, a leading provider of neutron and gamma detectors, offers a comprehensive range of high-immunity, mineral-insulated (MI) cable extensions and connectors. These robust cable extensions are specifically designed to withstand the harsh radiation and environmental conditions prevalent in nuclear installations with no loss in performance.

• MI Cable Extensions, a Proven Solution for Signal Integrity:

MI cable extensions, made from metal sheathed mineral insulated signal cables, provide superior signal transmission compared to organic insulated cables. The hermetically sealed design provides excellent resistance to noise pickup and is resistant to moisture, chemical degradation, high temperatures, and the damaging effects of extended radiation exposure, making it ideal for the demanding environments of nuclear applications.

Photonis MI cable extensions are specifically designed to handle low-level impulse signals, ensuring reliable transmission even under the most challenging conditions. The absence of organic materials in MI cables eliminates the risk of signal degradation due to radiation induced insulation breakdown.

• Connector Options for Diverse Applications:

Photonis offers a wide range of connectors to suit the specific needs of various nuclear applications. Whether you require BNC, BNC HT, HN, SMA, or other connectors, Photonis specializes in providing the appropriate solution for your setup.

For environments requiring enhanced durability, Photonis offers reinforced HN connectors, capable of withstanding up to 20 bar external pressure, ensuring a secure connection even at high temperatures.

• Effective Shielding against Radiation and Electromagnetic Interference:

In addition to their superior signal transmission capabilities, Photonis MI cable extensions provide efficient shielding against radiation and electromagnetic parasitic signals. This shielding protects the sensitive detector signals from interference, ensuring accurate data acquisition even in the presence of high-energy radiation and electromagnetic fields.
