Floating / Zero-Buoyancy Cable

Neutral in water: no weight on the vehicle, no float dragging on the surface.

A cable that is heavy pulls the underwater vehicle down and costs thrust to carry; a cable that floats arcs up and catches current. A zero-buoyancy cable is formulated so its overall density matches water, leaving the cable neutrally suspended while still providing the mechanical strength to be towed and the shielding to carry video and control signals. Suoqi builds these around a light, high-strength core with double-layer sheathing.
