Application fit
REF 60480 (Central-Aramid 9-Hose + 3×KX8 Coax + 12×2.5mm² Diving Bell Monopiece Umbilical) & REF 41136 (KX6 Coax + Dual-Pair PUR Deep-Sea Hookah Diving Cable) (IMCA D 014 / Bell Umbilical, 300/500 V, -25 °C to +70 °C).
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.
