Product Description

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-14 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable is developed for applications where cable weight, flexibility, durability, and transmission reliability are all important. In underwater operations, standard cables can become heavy and difficult to manage. This buoyant hybrid cable helps reduce the effective cable weight in water, improving handling and supporting smoother deployment.

Its hybrid construction makes it suitable for systems that require more than a simple fiber optic connection. The cable can be used in environments where optical communication, data transfer, or sensor connectivity must be combined with a robust cable structure capable of withstanding marine conditions.

The buoyant design is especially useful in tethered underwater equipment, floating sensor arrays, oceanographic instruments, and subsea monitoring systems where cable drag and sinking weight can affect performance.

Typical Applications

• Marine fiber optic communication systems
• Underwater sensor and monitoring equipment
• ROV and tethered subsea systems
• Oceanographic research equipment
• Buoyant cable assemblies
• Defense and naval marine systems
• Offshore inspection and survey tools
• Subsea data transmission systems
• Hybrid optical cable assemblies

Benefits

The SPE-7107-14 cable is ideal for applications where a conventional underwater cable may be too heavy or difficult to manage. Its buoyant construction helps improve deployment performance while maintaining the strength and reliability needed for harsh environments.

The cable also supports custom configurations, making it suitable for specialized marine and underwater systems that require a tailored hybrid cable solution.
