Flexible Subsea Drilling & Exploration Cable | TEBAOFLEX

TEBAOFLEX Flexible Subsea Drilling & Exploration Cable is designed for offshore drilling equipment, subsea exploration systems, ROV support devices, sensors and underwater monitoring applications. It can combine power, control, signal and optional fiber optic elements in a flexible cable structure for demanding marine and subsea environments.

Flexible Subsea Drilling & Exploration Cable for Offshore Equipment

TEBAOFLEX Flexible Subsea Drilling & Exploration Cable is developed for marine equipment that works in wet, offshore and underwater environments. It is suitable for subsea drilling support systems, underwater exploration devices, ROV-related equipment, monitoring instruments, cameras, sensors and offshore control connections.

In subsea applications, a cable is often expected to do more than transmit power. It may also need to carry control signals, data, video, optical fiber communication or auxiliary functions in one compact structure. For this reason, TEBAOFLEX can design the cable as a flexible composite cable according to project requirements.

The cable can be supplied with a PUR, TPU, rubber or special marine-grade sheath to improve resistance to seawater, oil, abrasion, hydrolysis, mud and mechanical handling. For equipment exposed to pulling force or repeated movement, aramid yarn, steel wire reinforcement or other strength members can be added.
