G24-9 QERE R3,2 TIA

This single armoured fibre optic submarine cable is part of the URC-1 family. The cable is intended for surface use or buried where increased protection is required.

The cable can contain up to 96 fibres (type G.652D) protected in a single, stainless steel tube. For fibre counts greater than 96, the fibres are split between four stranded tubes. A polyethylene sheath is extruded around the single tube/stranded tube package 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
