Two Singlemode Fibers + Two #24 AWG Conductors

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-3 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable is a rugged underwater hybrid cable designed for applications that need both optical data transmission and electrical power or signal conductors in one compact cable structure. It combines two singlemode optical fibers with two #24 AWG copper conductors, making it suitable for subsea, marine, floating, tethered, and instrumentation systems where lightweight buoyant performance is important.

This cable is part of Linden Photonics’ high-performance hybrid cable range and is engineered for demanding environments where standard fiber optic cables may not provide enough mechanical strength, flexibility, or integrated electrical capability.

Product Overview

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-3 Hybrid (-049) cable is designed for systems that require a combination of high-speed optical communication and electrical connectivity. The two singlemode fibers support long-distance, low-loss optical data transmission, while the two #24 AWG conductors can be used for power, control signals, sensor signals, or low-voltage electrical functions.

Its buoyant construction helps reduce cable weight in water, making it useful for applications where the cable must float, remain neutrally buoyant, or reduce drag and tension on underwater equipment.

Cable Construction

The cable includes:

Optical Fiber Element

The cable contains two singlemode fibers, suitable for long-distance data transmission with low attenuation. Singlemode fiber is commonly used where high bandwidth, long cable runs, and reliable signal performance are required.

Electrical Conductors

The cable includes two #24 AWG conductors. These conductors can be used for low-voltage power, control circuits, sensor communication, or signal transmission depending on the system design.

Buoyant Outer Layer

The buoyant cable design helps reduce the effective cable weight underwater. This is especially useful for marine robotics, ROV systems, floating platforms, underwater instruments, and deployable marine equipment.

Typical Applications

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-3 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable is suitable for:

• Underwater sensor systems
• ROV and marine robotic tethers
• Oceanographic instruments
• Subsea monitoring equipment
• Floating or buoy-based systems
• Marine communication systems
• Underwater data and power connections
• Defense and research applications
