8-core Cat5 network cable with 4 power cores in PUR jacket. 12 conductors total, for ROV Ethernet and multi-channel power supply in a single underwater cable run.
This 12-conductor hybrid underwater cable combines four Cat5-equivalent twisted pairs (8 cores) for Ethernet or multi-channel signal transmission with four individual power conductors for multi-zone power distribution. The design suits work-class ROV tether sections or subsea nodes where multiple independent power feeds (e.g., thrusters, lights, cameras, sonar) and a full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet link must run in a single cable.

Yes. Each power conductor is insulated and independent -- they can carry different voltages or currents simultaneously as long as each remains within its current rating. Common configurations supply 12V (electronics), 24V (thrusters), 48V (main bus), and return on the four cores.
Typically, the four twisted pairs are grouped centrally and the four power cores are arranged around them, with the overall shield and PUR jacket completing the assembly. This layout minimises EMI coupling from power cores to signal pairs.
