Our marine range covers copper data, bus, control, coaxial and fibre optic cable, together with specialist designs for fire, temperature, offshore exposure and subsea use. HB Cables can review an existing part or start from your installation brief.
Properties and approvals vary by cable. We confirm the exact datasheet, classification evidence, length and availability before quoting.
MARINE CABLE RANGES
Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A and Cat 7 options for shipboard and offshore data networks. Flame-retardant, non-corrosive (FRNC) jacket options combine halogen-free materials with low smoke emission. Selected constructions offer SHF1 or SHF2 jackets, UV resistance and NEK 606 mud resistance.
Enquire about this rangePROFINET, PROFIBUS, CAN, AS-Interface and other fieldbus options for vessel automation and connected equipment. Match the protocol, impedance, movement and installation conditions.
Enquire about this rangeMulti-core and screened constructions for monitoring, measurement, control and engine-related systems. Voltage, current, temperature and the mechanical environment guide the selection.
Enquire about this rangeCable options for safety-related communications where circuit integrity is specified. Selected Cat 6A constructions are available for PH 180 applications; the complete cable and termination system needs review.
Enquire about this rangePolymer, polymer-clad and glass-fibre designs for high-bandwidth shipboard links, with selected seawater-resistant, reinforced and fire-survival constructions.
Enquire about this rangeScreened coaxial cable for camera, RF and other signal routes on and below deck. RG-style and CCTV constructions can be matched to attenuation, EMC and jacket requirements.
Enquire about this rangeSpecialist insulation for engine rooms and hot zones includes silicone designs rated up to +200°C and fluoropolymer designs up to +260°C. Glass, mica and ceramic-based insulation can address more extreme thermal duties. The operating rating and exposure duration must be confirmed for the exact cable.
Enquire about this rangeData and fieldbus constructions for offshore installations, including oil, drilling-fluid and UV-resistant jacket options. Ex-zone requirements and installation details must be checked against the exact cable.
Enquire about this rangeHybrid data and power, underwater fibre and reinforced cable options for oceanographic equipment, sonar and seismic systems. Steel or aramid strength members, water-blocking and buoyancy can be specified around the deployment.

Marine Ethernet selection covers both transmission category and installation behaviour. IEC 60092-350 construction requirements and IEC 60332-3-22 bunched-cable flame-spread testing are relevant checks for selected shipboard designs. Duplex data cables combine two network connections within one cable construction where routing space is limited.
Flame retardance and circuit integrity are different requirements. Selected Cat 6A fire-resistant data cables use thermoplastic insulation with mica fire barriers and are designed around IEC 60092-379. Confirm the required PH 180 performance against the cable and connection system.
Optical options include polymer optical fibre (POF), polymer-clad fibre (PCF) and glass fibre. Fibre transmission avoids electromagnetic interference in the optical signal and is useful where electrical noise or potential differences complicate a copper link.
Selected marine constructions offer halogen-free materials, flexibility, seawater resistance, oil and mud resistance or fire integrity. Specify the fibre technology, wavelength, connector interface and route before asking for the relevant class documentation.
PROFINET, PROFIBUS, CAN and AS-Interface support vessel automation. Fixed-installation and flexible designs have different mechanical requirements. Published references below are useful starting points for a technical enquiry.

Port cranes and terminal machinery can require reelable cable for repeated movement, together with data and power connections designed around mechanical load, saltwater and changing temperatures. Reel diameter, travel, speed and tensile load help define the construction.
For tunnel infrastructure, fire-resistant Cat 5, Cat 6, Cat 6A and Cat 7 data constructions and sprinkler cable are relevant options. Essential connections need the specified fire-integrity evidence, with moisture, vibration, corrosion and electromagnetic compatibility also considered.
