RG58 50 Ohm + Vectran Braid Underwater Cable | 1200kg Tensile

RG58 50 ohm coaxial cable with Vectran braid (1200 kg breaking strength) and PUR jacket. High tensile, deep-sea rated for ROV and subsea data link applications.

Product introduction

RG58 50 Ohm Underwater Cable with Vectran Braid -- 1200 kg Breaking Strength

This high-performance underwater coaxial cable combines an RG58 50-ohm coaxial core with a Vectran high-modulus fibre braid providing 1,200 kg breaking strength, enclosed in a PUR outer sheath. Vectran outperforms Kevlar in flex fatigue and creep resistance, making this cable exceptional for dynamic deep-sea tether and winch applications where the cable must withstand repeated bending and high tensile loads without performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Vectran used instead of Kevlar for this cable?

Vectran offers superior flex fatigue life and near-zero creep under sustained tension compared to Kevlar. In dynamic tether applications where the cable repeatedly bends over a sheave or drum, Vectran maintains its breaking strength far longer than Kevlar, reducing the risk of sudden tensile failure.

What signals can RG58 carry in subsea applications?

RG58 50-ohm cable is used for RF signals (sonar, acoustic), Ethernet over coax (MoCA), RS-485, and general RF communications up to several GHz. It is a standard in subsea acoustic systems and can carry digital data at frequencies up to 1 GHz or more depending on the run length.
