The URC-1 cable family has been designed for non-repeatered systems. The cables are based on a loose tube design, in which the fibres are protected by a laser welded, 3.7 mm OD stainless steel tube. A maximum of 48 fibres can be inserted in each steel tube. For electroding purposes (fault locations by means of sea electrodes) a copper conductor can be fitted over the steel tube. A polyethylene sheath is applied over the steel tube(s) to complete the cable core.
The URC-1 cable family consists of 6 different armour versions, with design loads ranging from 30 kN to 400 kN. All 6 armour designs can be delivered with a 3.7 mm OD central steel tube with a maximum of 48 fibres or with a 5.6 OD central steel tube with a maximum of 96 fibres. Furthermore, the Single Armoured Heavy Cable and the Heavy Armoured Cable can be provided with 4 stranded central tubes with a total of 192 fibres.
A polyethylene sheath is applied over the armouring wires to provide corrosion protection. Two layers of polypropylene yarn, flooded in bitumen can be supplied as an outer serving on special request.
The products below contain fibres of type ITU-T G.652. Other fibre types can be delivered on request.
