Special cables for marine engineering

Our high degree of vertical integration enables us to make a wide range of cables tailored to the respective purpose in marine applications. Watertightness frequently has to be combined with maximum flexibility both laterally and longitudinally as well as with electromagnetic compatibility. Our solutions expertise ranges from applications in oceanography through to deep-sea exploration.

Our range of products:

• highly flexible cables for underwater applications
• traction cables with either steel or Kevlar strain relief for rated loads of several tons
• neutral buoyancy and floating cables
• laterally waterproof cable able to withstand pressure up to 600 bar
• cables to be permanently submerged
• customised special solutions

Fields of application:

• oceanography
• deep-sea exploration
• seismic technology

Advantages at a glance:

• marine water resistant - durable in constant underwater operations
• waterproof even under extreme mechanical stress
• secure data transmission
• may be sourced from a batch size as small as 100m

Special cables for naval engineering

In the naval defence engineering segment we offer a comprehensive portfolio of application-specific cable solutions for inboard and outboard uses. The focus here is on special properties in the event of fire (smoke gas density, toxicity, corrosiveness of the smoke gasses, self-extinguishing properties), both lateral and longitudinal watertightness, electromagnetic compatibility as well as long-term stability of the jacket materials used. We have solutions ranging from highly flexible, ultra-fine copper wire through to hybrid cable thick as an arm, which we also refine into ready-to connect and ready-to fit assembled cable systems and fully wired modules.

Our range of products and services:

• laterally and longitudinally waterproof cables for outboard applications
• inboard cables
• self-extinguishing submarine cables
• customised solutions for inboard and outboard cabling
• trailing and underwater cables with integrated strain relief
• cables with connectors
• design and development of cable systems

Fields of application:

• over water vehicles
• submarines

Advantages at a glance:

• durable in constant underwater operations
• maintenance of performance in case of fire
• self-extinguishing in case of fire
• low exhaust gas density in case of fire
• customized solutions
• electromagnetic compatibility
• may be sourced from a batch size as small as 100m
