The LINDEN-SPE-7107-17 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable is a rugged, lightweight hybrid cable designed for applications that require both optical fiber communication and electrical power or signal transmission within a single buoyant cable construction. It is suitable for demanding marine, underwater, defense, oceanographic, ROV, tethered sensor, and temporary deployment environments where low weight, flexibility, and reliable performance are important.

This cable is part of Linden Photonics’ buoyant hybrid cable range and is engineered to support dependable data transmission while helping reduce cable drag and handling difficulty in water-based applications.

Product Overview

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-17 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable combines fiber optic elements with electrical conductors inside a buoyant cable structure. This allows users to transmit high-speed data and carry power or control signals through one cable instead of using separate fiber and copper cables.

The buoyant design makes it especially useful for applications where the cable must remain neutrally buoyant or positively buoyant in water. This can help reduce strain on connected equipment, improve handling, and make deployment and retrieval easier.

Its hybrid construction is intended for environments where cables may be exposed to bending, pulling, abrasion, moisture, and repeated handling.

Key Features

Hybrid Fiber and Electrical Construction

The cable includes both optical fibers and electrical conductors, making it suitable for systems that need communication, power, and control in a single cable assembly.

Buoyant Cable Design

The buoyant construction helps the cable float or remain lighter in water, reducing drag and minimizing downward load on underwater equipment.

Rugged Outer Jacket

The cable is designed with a durable protective jacket to help resist abrasion, moisture, handling wear, and environmental exposure.

Lightweight and Flexible

Compared with many traditional underwater cable options, this cable is designed to be easier to manage, coil, deploy, and recover.

Suitable for Dynamic Use

The cable may be used in applications where movement, bending, and repeated deployment are expected.

Reliable Signal Transmission

The fiber optic component supports high-bandwidth, low-loss data communication over suitable operating distances.

Typical Applications

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-17 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable can be used in a wide range of underwater and marine systems, including:

• ROV and underwater vehicle tethers
• Oceanographic monitoring systems
• Marine research equipment
• Towed underwater sensors
• Defense and tactical marine systems
• Subsea communication links
• Temporary underwater deployments
• Buoyant fiber optic cable assemblies
• Hybrid power and data transmission systems
