Designed for Buoyant Underwater Performance
The LINDEN-SPE-7036 is designed for underwater applications where cable weight and handling are important. Its specific gravity of 1.01 supports buoyant or near-neutral behavior in water, making it useful for marine systems where heavy cable drag or sinking behavior may be undesirable.
This makes the cable suitable for applications such as ROV support, subsea communication, underwater sensors, and other systems where a lighter cable profile can help improve deployment and movement.
Strong and Flexible Cable Construction
The cable uses a Linden proprietary jacket design with a primary strength coating of LCP/Kevlar/Santoprene. This construction supports strength, flexibility, and durability in demanding field applications. The specification lists a tensile strength of greater than 250 lb, measured at a stress rate of approximately 100 lb/min.
The 15 mm minimum bend radius also supports compact routing and handling where space is limited, while still maintaining the cable’s optical and mechanical performance.
Optical Performance
The LINDEN-SPE-7036 is built with single mode fiber and is specified for low attenuation performance.
| Optical Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Fiber Type | Singlemode |
| Attenuation @ 1310 nm | < 0.45 dB/km |
| Attenuation @ 1550 nm | < 0.35 dB/km |
| Optical Propagation Loss Testing | Performed 100% on all cables at 1310 nm and 1550 nm |
These optical characteristics make it suitable for underwater communication links that need reliable signal transmission over single mode fiber.
