Description

Applications

Towed and bottom laid seismic acquisition systems require a wide range of cables. Nexans manufacture and terminate cables such as gunumbilicals, sensor cables, riser cables and lead-in cables for sub-sea seismic operation down to 2000m water depth.

Design

Sensor cables for bottom laid seismic systems typically comprises high performance signal quads and power conductors (optical fibres can be supplied on request).

Each cable section has a torque balanced steel wire armouring. The armouring is Galfan coated (Zn/Al alloy), thus giving an improved corrosion protection.

The sensor cables can be operated down to 2000m water depths.
