18th CS cable and antenna shop lays first-ever ribbon fiber on Kadena

U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Jeffrey Blankenship, 18th Communications Squadron commander, thanks members of the 18th CS cable and antenna shop after a plaque presentation on Kadena Air Base, Japan, July 22, 2014. Thirty-two military members and 27 master labor contractors were involved in the first-ever ribbon fiber placement in Okinawa. The Navy 864 circuit ribbon fiber optic cable, approximately 26,000 feet long, was placed between Kadena Air Base and Camp Shields. The fiber optic cable significantly expands the IT backbone infrastructure between the two installations, and will increase the rate of communication.
