ROV Umbilical Cable

Subsea Power, Fiber & Data Transmission Cable

ROV umbilical cable is a high-performance system for deep-sea and offshore operations, combining power, fiber optic, and data transmission. As a subsea umbilical cable solution, it delivers stable and reliable performance for demanding ROV underwater applications.

Key Features

Tensile Strength: from 0 to 6 tonnes. Enhanced Kevlar fiber content and advanced braiding techniques achieve high strength. 

Core Process: Silver-Plated Conductors, Twisted-Pair Groups, High-Quality Insulation Layer, M-Layer Concentric Array.          

Neutral Buoyancy / Zero Buoyancy: Achieved via specialized foamed sheathing materials and construction, minimizing cable weight impact on ROV stability and maneuverability.

Extensive Range: from 1 to 60 cores

Conductor Cross-Sections:  from 0.08 mm² to 35 mm².

Other Options: Water Tightness Compound / Sealant / Water-Blocking Yarn
