PRODUCT OFFERINGS

Nautilus Cables is excited to offer the market a robust armored fiber optic cable, well suited for the harshest of applications from its new facility outside Houston, TX. Nautilus’ ARGONAUT can be used as a stand-alone element, ready for direct burial or to provide robust resistance to hydrostatic pressures in the smallest of diameters or as part of a more complex cable design.

At Nautilus Cables, we can provide our customers custom buffered fiber elements to meet their operational requirements, then precision armor with preformed Incalloy 625 wire to create a protected and corrosion resistant optical cable or element with excellent strength properties. We can further customize the final diameter by extruding a variety of jacketing materials over the standard AROC to meet our customer’s needs for various applications.

Nautilus Cables will work with you on your project to make a neutrally buoyant cable that will meet your requirements. Today’s systems are involving exponentially more sensors, controls, and power requiring additional elements thereby creating additional weight.

A client challenged our team at Nautilus to maintain the diameter of their existing array cable, but requiring additional conductors while remaining neutrally buoyant in fresh water. While a hard challenge in itself, the client also needed this new cable to be a durable, abrasion resistant and easy to bond to.

Nautilus Cables problem solving solution: NC-FOAM!

Our Nautilus Cables team developed NC-FOAM, a Polyurethane Jacketing material, achieving Sg. percentages as low as .65 and hardness levels of 85 Shore D.

Challenge Success:

We are proud to say that our client deployed the array cable in harsh conditions with excellent abrasion performance while being neutral in fresh water!
