Our Underwater Fiber Optic Cable is engineered to withstand the extreme pressures and corrosive environments found beneath the water’s surface. Unlike standard underwater cables, this product is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of submarine cable installations, offering a lifespan exceeding 25 years.
Key Features
- Robust Construction: Incorporating a steel wire armor (SWA) for exceptional protection against external forces and pressures.
- Customizable Sheathing: The cable’s sheath is tailored to specific hydrogeological conditions, ensuring optimal performance in diverse underwater environments.
- High Fiber Count: Available in 48 and 96 core configurations to accommodate varying bandwidth requirements.
- Long Service Life: Designed for a minimum of 25 years of reliable operation in challenging underwater conditions.
This underwater fiber optic cable provides a critical infrastructure solution for telecommunications, offshore energy, and other industries requiring high-capacity, long-haul connectivity.
Applications
- Submarine telecommunication networks
- Offshore oil and gas platforms
- Marine research and monitoring
- Underwater sensor networks
