LINDEN-SPE-7110-15 Hybrid (-054) Buoyant Hybrid Cable
LINDEN-SPE-7110-15 Hybrid (-054) Buoyant Hybrid Cable is a lightweight, rugged fiber-optic and electrical hybrid cable designed for marine and subsea applications. Its buoyant construction supports controlled underwater positioning while providing reliable data, power, and signal transmission in a single cable.
Description
The LINDEN-SPE-7110-15 Hybrid (-054) Buoyant Hybrid Cable is a specialized fiber-optic/electrical hybrid cable designed to carry optical data and electrical power or control signals through a single rugged cable. Linden Photonics identifies the LINDEN-SPE-7110 configuration as 1 × single-mode (SM) fiber + 3 × #16 AWG conductors, with approximately 13 mm outside diameter and 450 lb ultimate tensile strength (UTS).
Typical Features
- Hybrid fiber/electrical construction for combined data and power transmission.
- 1 × Single-Mode optical fiber for high-bandwidth communications.
- 3 × #16 AWG conductors for electrical power, control, or instrumentation.
- Buoyant (-054) design suitable for marine and underwater deployments.
- Approx. 13 mm nominal OD for the SPE-7110 configuration.
- Approx. 450 lb UTS for the documented SPE-7110 design.
- Thin, lightweight and rugged construction.
- Designed for strength and flexibility in demanding environments.
- Suitable for subsea and marine applications.
- Linden describes its hybrid cables as customizable in size, buoyancy and strength, with jacket construction intended to protect the fiber in harsh subsea environments.
Typical Applications
- ROV and underwater robotic systems
- Subsea instrumentation
- Oceanographic research equipment
- Marine monitoring and sensing
- Underwater communication systems
- Offshore inspection equipment
- Marine survey equipment
- Tethered underwater equipment
- Naval and defense systems
- Underwater cameras and sensors

Important: I could verify the SPE-7110 base specification, but not a separate published technical specification specifically distinguishing the “-15” suffix. Therefore, the specifications above should be treated as the documented SPE-7110 configuration rather than assumptions about any suffix-specific modification.
