Single Mode Underwater Fibre Cable with Kevlar | Subsea Optical

Single mode underwater fibre optic cable with Kevlar braid reinforcement. PUR jacket, high tensile for deep ROV fibre tether deployments. G.652D fibres, custom count.

Product introduction

Single Mode Underwater Fibre Optic Cable with Kevlar Reinforcement

Combining the optical performance of single-mode G.652D fibres with the structural strength of a Kevlar (aramid) braid and the durability of a PUR jacket, this underwater fibre cable is engineered for ROV tether applications where the cable must simultaneously serve as the data link and the structural tether. Ideal for deep-sea deployments where high bandwidth, low latency, and tensile reliability are all critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data rates can single-mode fibre support in an ROV tether?

Single-mode fibre supports 10 Gbps and beyond with appropriate SFP+ transceivers, enabling real-time 4K video, full-duplex sensor data, and control communications simultaneously. Over tether lengths of 100--3,000 m, single-mode fibre vastly outperforms copper alternatives.

Is the fibre protected from hydrostatic pressure effects?

Yes. The gel-filled loose tube construction ensures that hydrostatic pressure does not cause micro-bending losses in the fibre. At depths up to 6,000 m, the optical performance is maintained within specification.
