Custom Polyurethane

Polyurethane Subsea Cable Protection Tubes

Polyurethane subsea cable protection tubes are specialized protective coverings designed to safeguard cables in underwater environments. These tubes provide mechanical protection, abrasion resistance, and flexibility, ensuring the longevity and reliability of subsea cables used in offshore industries such as oil and gas, telecommunications, and renewable energy.

Cable Protection Tubes Features at A Glance

The polyurethane subsea cable protection tubes, similar to submarine bend restrictors, are made of two half shells made of polyurethane, which are fixed by bolts. This new design not only shorten the installation time , but also eliminated the possibility of wear of stainless steel fasteners.The flexible characteristics of the materials enable the product to meet the required minimum bend radius of the pipeline.

Polyurethane subsea cable protection tubes

Applications

Polyurethane subsea cable protection tubes are widely used in various industries, including:

1. Offshore Oil & Gas Industry

Protection of power, communication, and control cables on offshore platforms.

Prevents damage from seabed movement, ship anchors, and marine life.

2. Submarine Telecommunications

Used in deep-sea fiber optic cable installations.

Enhances cable durability in challenging underwater terrains.

3. Offshore Wind Farms

Protects dynamic power cables connecting wind turbines to offshore substations.

Reduces mechanical stress from tidal movements and waves.

4. Marine and Defense Applications

Used in naval communication and surveillance cables.

Ensures the integrity of underwater sensor and sonar systems.

Cable Protection Tubes

Installation and Deployment Considerations

1.Tube Selection

Choose the correct size and material composition based on cable specifications and environmental conditions.

2.Attachment Methods

Can be clamped, strapped, or bonded to cables, depending on project requirements.

3.Deployment Strategy

Consider seabed conditions, water depth, and expected cable movement when designing protection systems.

4.Maintenance and Inspection

Regular underwater inspections help ensure long-term integrity.

Polyurethane’s durability minimizes the need for frequent maintenance.

Subsea Cable

Polyurethane subsea cable protection tubes are an ideal solution for safeguarding underwater cables in harsh environments. Their combination of durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion makes them superior to traditional materials such as metal and rubber. Widely used in offshore energy, telecommunications, and marine industries, these protective tubes play a crucial role in ensuring the longevity and reliability of subsea cable networks.
