Marine towed cables are used in marine environmental, geological and geomorphological surveys, marine resource development, and marine reconnaissance fields. Depending on the different functional requirements of the towed vessel, corresponding towed cable structures are configured to improve communication, power, and load-bearing transmission capabilities between the ship and the towed vessel.
Marine towed cables mainly include a series of products such as bare steel wire armored towed cables, flexible fiber-reinforced towed cables, and microgravity and zero-buoyancy towed cables.
The coaxial towed cable structure uses a coaxial cable core to achieve real-time transmission of communication data, enabling marine towed detection capabilities for lengths of no less than 3km.
The CTD tow cable uses a single-core electrical unit as the transmission medium to collect and analyze marine physical characteristics data, enabling long-range marine exploration applications up to 10km in length.
The optical-electric composite tow cable incorporates optical fiber, power transmission, and mechanical connections, enabling underwater equipment to perform communication and power transmission functions. Its three-layer reinforced armor structure enhances flexibility and overall cable stability.
The ribbon towing cable reduces the vibration effect of the high-speed towing system through the outer ribbon/hair, and increases the diving depth of the towed body. At the same time, it adopts high-strength reinforced components and ribbon materials that are resistant to marine corrosion, which effectively improves the design service life of the product under marine corrosion conditions.
