MacArtney Underwater Cables - In stock
The MacArtney Group depends on the support of a number of major cable manufacturers to supply
a range of cables that are designed, manufactured and tested to meet the highest demands of the
stock while other cables are manufactured to order. Quality is maintained to the highest standard in the
industry. MacArtney also supplies engineering services and components to integrate total cable solution
packages.

Index
TV-Cables (04 - 09)
The standard TV cables contain a range of custom designed multi conductor cables for
use with underwater TV systems and other equipment. These cables contain a variety of
coaxes, twisted pairs and power conductors to allow cameras, lights and pan & tilt units
to be powered, controlled and video images carried to the surface. The cables all have
Polyurethane outer jackets, allowing them to be easily moulded to connectors to make
underwater cable harness assemblies.
Combined Power/Signal Cables (10 - 15)
Cables in this section contain a mixture of power conductors and shielded twisted pairs
cabled together within a Polyurethane outer jacket. From the simple, two power conductors
and one shielded pair, to the more complex cables, there is bound to be a cable that will
meet your needs. These cables are ideal for the construction of harness assemblies for
transmission of data from point to point.
Instrumentation Cables (16 - 25)
The instrumentation cables contain a number of cables for a variety of purposes. From
one shielded twisted pair to several shielded twisted pairs or single conductors with overall
shield. Cables in this section have Polyurethane outer jacket, allowing them to be easily
moulded to connectors to make underwater cable harness assemblies.
Fibre Optic Cables (26 - 30)
in these cables has undergone many years of development and has a long track record
of successful operation down to 6000 meters water depth. The individual elements are
combined and packaged within a Polyurethane outer jacket providing additional protection
range.
Special Cables (31 - 32)
Our program for these cables covers most of the market demands. These include long steel
armoured tow cables for sophisticated military arrays to short lengths of instrument cables
for CTD probes. Fibre optic cables are playing an increasingly important role in this section
of the market and our in-house engineering can support our customers with cable and
termination designs and advise on tow characteristics etc.
Non Stock Cables (33)
Sonar & Acoustic System Cables
Video System Umbilicals
ROV and Trencher Umbilicals
Dynamic Cable Ancilliary Products
Terminations (34 - 35)
Our standard shackle or fork terminations are safe and reliable methods of connecting cable
to towed underwater vehicles or for lifting a heavy object, such as a down-hole camera
system. Terminating and moulding the cable to a connector ensures a watertight connection
from cable to system. MacArtney stocks standard terminations for steel armoured or Kevlar
armoured cables with diameters of 6 to 14mm and loads of up to 1500kg. We also have
extensive experience of designing terminations for loads of up to 100 tonnes.

Non stock cables
Sonar & Acoustic System Cables
Historically side scan sonar systems were towed by multi-core steel or aramide
armoured cables. Although these cable types are still an industry standard,
there has been an upsurge in acoustic, digital and telemetry technology which
demand a new approach to cable engineering. We supply the complete range
of cables for acoustic applications including armoured coaxial cables for side
the most advanced acoustic systems.
Video System Umbilicals
The advances in underwater vision systems have developed dramatically
over the years. This has led to new designs in cables using sophisticated
transmission systems with multiple broad band channels. We supply traditional
diver, sewer inspection and well head TV system cables, however, we are
transmission systems for security systems, ROV & ROTV systems, underwater
trenchers and ploughs.
ROV and Trencher Umbilicals
As ROV systems get larger, more powerful and operate in deeper waters, the
demand on the cable system becomes a critical issue. Fibre optic, high voltage
umbilicals are now common place and we supply standard and special designs
to this market. These include steel armoured lift umbilicals and aramide
reinforced tether cables. Also part of our program are neutrally buoyant tethers
for Tether Management Systems and smaller ROV systems. We have also
designed and built special cables for long excursion (tunnel inspection).

MacAr

has al
ways viewed a dynamic cable as a system which includes connectors, mechanical
terminations, protection, buoyancy, sheaves, handling systems etc. To
support our in-house engineered designs, we also supply a complete range
of winch systems, slip rings, cable moulding, underwater electrical and optical
connectors, mechanical terminations, penetrators, cable buoyancy, sheaves
and cable status indicators fully supported by our in-house
33
Terminations
Standard Steel Termination
Our standard shackle or fork terminations are safe and reliable
methods of connecting cable to towed underwater vehicles or for lifting
a heavy object, such as a down-hole camera system. Terminating and
moulding the cable to a connector ensures a watertight connection
from cable to system. MacArtney stocks standard terminations for
steel armoured or Kevlar armoured cables with diameters of 6 to
14mm and loads of up to 1500kg. We also have extensive experience
of designing terminations for loads of up to 100 tonnes.
Bend Restrictors & Bend Stiffeners
Bend restrictors and stiffeners are designed to minimse sharp
cable bends, protecting them from stress damage and kinks. They
mechanically limit the bend and prevent unwanted tension.
Chamber Terminations
MacArtney chamber terminations connect a cable to a specially
designed connector. The chamber transfers the entire force from
the cable to the steel parts of the termination, maintaining the safe
working load of the cable throughout the connection. The chambers
makes it possible to replace the connector or cable relatively easily
re-using the metal termination parts.
Oil Compensation
either with an internal bladder or an external reservoir. They can be
PE Mouldings
PE moulding is a secure and economical method of connecting
PE jacketed cables and connectors without the need for an oil
compensated system. A special hot moulding machine forces PE
moulding material into the moulding form under high pressure,
