Immersion & wet locations
Water-blocked core matrix and hydrolysis-resistant subsea jacketing withstand continuous deepwater hydrostatic pressure.
Product
A302351 / A304097 / A305382 (UNOLS 0.681" / 0.393") Double-Armored Stainless-Steel-Tube Deep-Sea Electro-Optic Tow Cable (UNOLS 0.681" EOM, 1.8/3 kV, -40 °C to +80 °C, min. bend radius 15 × OD).
Typical values for this cable type, based on UNOLS Standard 0.681" 8,000 m Electro-Optic Tow & ROV — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
A302351 / A304097 / A305382 (UNOLS 0.681" / 0.393") Double-Armored Stainless-Steel-Tube Deep-Sea Electro-Optic Tow Cable (UNOLS 0.681" EOM, 1.8/3 kV, -40 °C to +80 °C, min. bend radius 15 × OD).
Water-blocked core matrix and hydrolysis-resistant subsea jacketing withstand continuous deepwater hydrostatic pressure.
Torque-balanced aramid or contra-helical steel armour supports vertical winch deployment without hockling.
Marine-grade outer sheath and armour package resist LARS sheave abrasion, UV exposure and salt-spray corrosion.
High tensile breaking strength supports underwater towing, ROV excursion and seabed plough/trencher duty.
Subsea umbilical and tow construction is not intended for high-cycle indoor factory drag chains.
