MARINE APPLICATIONS / SUBSEA & OCEANOGRAPHY

Subsea & oceanography.

Subsea instruments and oceanographic equipment need cable selected for the deployment depth, movement, tensile load and the signals or power it carries.

CABLE FOR THE APPLICATION

Start with the installation.

Measurement, ROV and underwater systems, with specialist constructions selected for the installation. Share the existing cable reference or outline the duty and we can review suitable constructions and factory documentation.

Requirements to review

  • Underwater data, fibre and hybrid power connections
  • Strength, movement and termination requirements
  • Water exposure and the planned deployment method

Properties and class approvals depend on the exact cable. We confirm them against the selected datasheet before quoting.

APPLICATION DETAIL

ROV tether, towing and seismic cable

Oceanographic instruments, underwater robots and seabed seismic systems need reliable telemetry alongside the power required by the equipment. Fixed underwater routes and moving tethers impose different demands. A towing cable may need seawater-resistant materials and steel or aramid reinforcement; floating and neutrally buoyant constructions can be considered where cable weight affects deployment.

Hybrid subsea cable design

A custom underwater cable can combine power cores, control pairs or quads, Ethernet data elements, bus elements and optical fibres. Air, gas or fluid hoses can also be integrated where the equipment needs them. Designs can accommodate power elements up to 6 kV, data elements up to Cat 7 and strength members rated up to 100 kN, subject to the agreed construction. These are design options, not ratings shared by every subsea cable.
