TEBAOFLEX Composite Umbilical Cable is a hybrid cable solution that can combine power, control, signal, fibre optic and optional fluid-transfer elements in one integrated construction. It is designed for ROV systems, subsea equipment, offshore installations and specialized industrial machinery where separate cables would increase space, handling or installation complexity.
Each composite umbilical cable is configured around the equipment requirement. A design may include only the elements needed for the project, such as flexible power conductors, control cores, shielded signal pairs, optical fibres, pneumatic tubes, hydraulic hoses and strength members.
Composite Umbilical Cable Functions
- Power transmission: flexible copper conductors can supply equipment power.
- Control and signal transmission: control cores and twisted pairs can support monitoring and communication functions.
- Fibre optic integration: single-mode or multimode optical fibres can be incorporated where data performance is required.
- Optional fluid transfer: pneumatic tubes, hydraulic tubes or fluid hoses can be included for suitable applications.
- Mechanical support: aramid yarn, steel wire or customized strength members can help address tensile loading requirements.
Configurable Construction
The core schedule, screening, strength member and sheath material are selected according to voltage, data transmission, bending, tensile load, environmental exposure and installation method. Optional foil screening and copper braid shielding can be used where the application requires improved signal protection.

Project Selection Support
To specify a composite umbilical cable, provide the voltage and current requirements, control and data protocol, optical-fibre requirement, tube or hose details, operating depth or environment, installation route, minimum bend radius and expected tensile load. TEBAOFLEX can develop a practical hybrid cable construction based on these confirmed project inputs.
