Seawater-Resistant Network Cable Cat5e / Cat6

Data integrity underwater

Subsea cameras and sensors do not tolerate packet loss, and a water-ingress path shows up as an intermittent link rather than a clean failure. These cables use tinned-copper Ethernet conductors with individual pair screens plus an overall braid, held at 85 % or better coverage, so the pair is protected against both differential and common-mode interference along the whole run.

Termination and installation

Because water travels along a cable far more easily than it crosses a jacket, the waterproof rating depends on the termination as much as the cable. We supply the cable configured for your connector — overmoulded, potted or gland-terminated — and can provide the same construction in a composite body that carries power alongside the data pair so a single subsea run serves both.

Applications

This construction is supplied into the following installations. Tell us which one applies and we will confirm the governing requirement.

Customisation

Core count and cross-section, screen arrangement, sheath compound and colour, print legend, length and termination are all built to order. Send the requirement — including the failed OEM part if this is a replacement — and we will propose the construction and confirm the lead time.
