Product Overview

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-6 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable is a rugged underwater hybrid cable designed for applications that require both fiber optic signal transmission and electrical conductor capability within a single compact cable structure.

This cable is suitable for marine, subsea, defense, offshore, ROV, sensor, tether, and underwater communication systems where reliable optical data links and low-power electrical connectivity are required in wet or submerged environments.

The buoyant construction helps reduce cable drag and handling load in water, making it useful for dynamic underwater systems where cable weight and flexibility are important.

Key Features

• Includes copper conductors for power, control, or signal use
• Flexible and lightweight compared with traditional underwater cables
• Suitable for tethered systems, sensors, and deployed marine equipment
• Built for strength, durability, and long service life in harsh conditions
• Custom cable configuration available depending on project requirements

Cable Construction

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-6 Hybrid (-049) is part of Linden Photonics’ buoyant hybrid cable range. It combines fiber optic elements and copper conductors in a protected cable body designed for underwater use.

Typical construction may include:

• Singlemode optical fibers for long-distance, high-bandwidth communication
• Copper conductors for electrical power or signal transmission
• Strength members for tensile protection
• Water-resistant internal structure
• Buoyant outer jacket or flotation layer
• Durable exterior protection for marine handling

The “Hybrid” design allows one cable to replace separate fiber and electrical cables, simplifying deployment and improving system integration.

Typical Applications

The LINDEN-SPE-7107-6 Hybrid (-049) Buoyant Hybrid Cable can be used in:

• Underwater communication systems
• ROV and mini-ROV tether cables
• Marine sensor systems
• Subsea monitoring equipment
• Oceanographic instruments
• Defense and naval systems
• Offshore inspection systems
• Underwater cameras and sonar equipment
• Towed or floating marine platforms
• Data and low-power signal transmission in wet environments
