4 individually screened twisted pairs 18AWG underwater PUR cable. Higher current capacity signal pairs for ROV and subsea power-signal applications.
This underwater PUR cable provides 4 individually screened twisted pairs at 18AWG, offering higher current capacity than 20--24AWG alternatives. Ideal for ROV applications where signal pairs must also carry moderate currents -- such as solenoid valve drivers, relay control lines, or actuator signals -- while maintaining full electromagnetic shielding and seawater resistance.

18AWG conductors carry approximately 10A in a subsea PUR-jacketed cable (derated from the 14A free-air rating). For higher current requirements, we recommend 16AWG or 14AWG conductors. Contact us for conductor sizing calculations based on your load profile.
Yes. The lower resistance of 18AWG vs. 22/24AWG is actually beneficial for RS-485 over long cable runs, reducing signal reflections and voltage drop. 18AWG pairs are commonly used in RS-485 installations exceeding 500 m.
