COMNEN’s neutrally buoyant ROV tether cables with foam, also known as Foam Underwater Cat5e 4 Pairs Network Cables, are specialized cables designed for use in remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and underwater applications. These cables are engineered to be neutrally buoyant, meaning they have a density close to that of the surrounding water, allowing them to float in a controlled manner underwater. This characteristic helps to minimize the strain on the ROV and ensure smooth maneuverability.
The cables are constructed using Cat5e 4-pair network cable technology, which provides reliable and high-speed data transmission capabilities. Cat5e stands for Category 5e, and it is an enhanced version of Cat5, offering improved performance in terms of bandwidth and crosstalk. The 4-pair configuration allows for the transmission of multiple data signals simultaneously.
The inclusion of foam within the cable’s structure helps to achieve the desired neutral buoyancy. This foam layer provides additional insulation and protection to the internal wires, ensuring stable and reliable performance even in challenging underwater environments.
Neutrally buoyant ROV tether cables with foam are commonly used in underwater exploration, oil and gas industries, marine research, and other applications where reliable data transmission is required in underwater conditions. Compliant with RoHS, REACH and CE, come with COMNEN lifetime long warranty. ODM and OEM service are available.
