Cables & Umbilicals

High strength and stiffness translate to smaller and thinner cables, along with high burst pressure for reinforced tubing. In addition, minimal fiber creep protects optics from unplanned strain in order to maintain optimal signal quality. VECTRAN^™ fiber also maintains high strength after multiple reelings/deployments and provides excellent abrasion resistance in rugged locations.

Key Benefits

• High tensile properties
• Low moisture absorption
• Minimal creep
