Multicore single-mode fiber optic underwater cable for subsea signal transmission. OS2 fibers, PUR jacket, for ROV, ocean observatory, and subsea LAN high-bandwidth fiber links.
The multicore underwater single-mode fiber optic cable provides high-bandwidth optical signal transmission in subsea environments. OS2 single-mode fibers (9/125 μm) support transmission of 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, 100 Gbps, and DWDM wavelength-division multiplexed signals over kilometre-scale cable runs with essentially zero bandwidth limitation. Suitable for ocean observatories, ROV high-bandwidth tethers, and subsea LAN infrastructure.

OS2 (ITU-T G.652.D) has a lower attenuation (≤0.2 dB/km at 1550 nm vs ≤0.35 dB/km for OS1) and is designed for outside plant (OSP) applications including direct burial and underwater deployment. OS1 is for indoor use only. For any underwater cable, always specify OS2.
For a standard ROV with HD video and Ethernet: 2 fibers (one Tx, one Rx) support a single 10 Gbps link or multiple 1 Gbps CWDM channels. 4 fibers provide redundancy. 6--12 fibers are used in work-class ROVs with multiple HD/4K cameras and high-bandwidth control links, plus spare fibers for future expansion.
