The LINDEN-SPE-7107-21 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable is a rugged, lightweight buoyant cable designed for demanding underwater and marine applications where reliable signal transmission, strength, flexibility, and flotation performance are required. This hybrid cable construction allows fibre optic and electrical elements to be combined within a single cable design, making it suitable for systems that require both high-speed data communication and power or control transmission.

Engineered for use in harsh subsea and surface-water environments, the LINDEN-SPE-7107-21 cable provides dependable performance for remotely operated systems, underwater sensors, defence applications, oceanographic equipment, marine research platforms, and other tethered underwater technologies. Its buoyant design helps reduce drag and cable weight in water, improving handling and operational efficiency during deployment and retrieval.

The cable is built with a durable outer jacket to protect the internal fibre and electrical components from abrasion, moisture, mechanical stress, and environmental exposure. The hybrid configuration supports efficient system integration by reducing the need for multiple separate cables, helping simplify installation and improve reliability in field operations.

Product Overview

This buoyant hybrid cable is designed to deliver dependable performance where standard cable constructions may be too heavy, stiff, or difficult to manage underwater. By combining optical fibre and electrical conductors in one cable, the LINDEN-SPE-7107-21 supports both high-bandwidth data transfer and electrical connectivity, making it a practical solution for modern underwater systems.

Its buoyant profile helps maintain better cable positioning in water, reducing the risk of sinking, snagging, or excessive load on connected equipment. This makes it especially useful for applications where cable movement, flexibility, and stability are important.

Benefits

Using the LINDEN-SPE-7107-21 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable can help improve system performance, reduce cable management issues, and support long-term reliability in marine environments. The cable’s rugged construction protects sensitive internal components while maintaining the flexibility needed for repeated deployment.

The hybrid design also allows engineers and system integrators to reduce cable complexity by carrying multiple functions through one cable assembly. This can be especially valuable in compact underwater systems where space, weight, and reliability are important.

Recommended Use

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-21 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable is recommended for applications requiring a custom buoyant cable solution with combined fibre optic and electrical performance. It is suitable for both temporary and long-term underwater use, depending on the final system design, connector requirements, deployment depth, and operating environment.

For projects requiring specific fibre counts, conductor sizes, jacket materials, connector options, or mechanical strength requirements, this cable can be configured as part of a custom underwater cable assembly solution.
