G48-9 QERE R1,9 TIA

This light weight fibre optic submarine cable is part of the URC-1 family . The cable is intended for use in deep seawater, on seafloors with no significant hazards or buried in all types of seawater.

The cable can contain up to 96 fibres (type G.652D) protected in a single, stainless steel tube. A polyethylene sheath is extruded around the tube to complete the cable core.

A single layer of armouring wires is stranded around the cable core. This is in turn protected by a polyethylene outer sheath.

Several other options are available on request:

- A copper conductor can be applied on the steel tube for electroding purposes (fault location
- The outer polyethylene sheath can be replaced by polypropylene yarns flooded in bitumen
- Other fibre types and fibre counts can be supplied
