Hicom 4 – Ethernet Communication Tether – Twisted Pair Polyurethane Floating Cable
4 Twisted Pair Floating Tether is a communication cable with high strength and neutral buoyancy, which is especially preferred in underwater applications.
Thanks to the polyurethane outer insulation cover, it has high strength and flexibility. Polyurethane cover is much more resistant to breakage and tear than other types of materials.
The core of the cable contains Kevlar strands for strength and Dacron fibers for space filling. Dacron fibers are combined with a water-blocking compound to prevent leaks caused by nicks in the cable. High visibility yellow polyurethane foam cover resists abrasion and provides neutral buoyancy.
The flexibility of the cable is designed to be high enough to give ROV’s plenty of freedom.
