Every item states what it is for and when it is used; the specifications open on a link. If you are unsure what suits your task, mark several options and describe the site in your request - we will specify it for you.

СКР-8001

Underwater tether cable

The cable linking vehicle to console: power, video and commands. Neutral buoyancy - it neither drags the vehicle down nor floats up.

Specifications
  • Watertight construction, neutral buoyancy
  • Polyurethane outer jacket
  • Polyethylene or PTFE insulation
  • Single- and double-layer versions
  • Conductor count, cross-section and breaking strength selected for the task
СКР-8002

Cable spool 100 m

Spool for 100 m of tether. A slip ring allows operation without paying out the full length.

Specifications
  • Manual winding and paying out
  • Aluminium alloy frame
  • Built-in slip ring
  • Version without wheels
СКР-8003

Cable spool 200 m

200 m spool on wheels - moved by one person.

Specifications
  • Manual winding and paying out
  • Aluminium alloy frame
  • Built-in slip ring
  • Wheeled frame
СКР-8004

Cable spool 300 m

300 m spool for work at a distance from the launch point.

Specifications
  • Manual winding and paying out
  • Aluminium alloy frame
  • Built-in slip ring
  • Wheeled frame
СКР-8005

Cable spool 500 m

500 m spool for extended structures: pipelines, cable routes, long quay walls.

Specifications
  • Manual winding and paying out
  • Aluminium alloy frame
  • Built-in slip ring
  • Wheeled frame
СКР-8006

Wet-mate connector kit

Connectors that mate underwater. Allow changing equipment on the vehicle without recovery and drying.

Specifications
  • 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 pin versions
  • Stainless steel housing with high seawater resistance
  • Standard pin layout, 7/16 UNF thread
  • Interchangeable with same-size products from other makers
СКР-8007

Underwater connector 2-10 pins

Multi-pin connector for attaching equipment to the vehicle. Mated at the surface before launch.

Specifications
  • Aviation-type connector
  • From 2 to 10 pins
  • 316L housing
  • For cable up to 8 mm outer diameter
  • 200 m depth rating
СКР-8008

Buoyancy foam block

A block offsetting the vehicle weight in water. Sized so the vehicle hovers in the water column, neither surfacing nor sinking.

Specifications
  • Syntactic foam of hollow microspheres
  • Density selected for depth ratings up to 6000 m
  • Shaped to the customer's drawing
СКР-8009

Cable pulling grip

Grip securing the tether to the vehicle: removes load from the connectors when the tether goes taut.

Specifications
  • Polyamide
  • 100 kg breaking strength
  • 650 mm long
  • For cable of 7-12 mm diameter
СКР-8010

Cable penetrator

Passes a cable through the vehicle wall while keeping the seal. The basis of any subsea build: without penetrators, power and signal cannot leave the housing.

Specifications
  • Watertight cable pass-through
  • O-ring sealed
  • Threaded mounting
СКР-8011

M8 gland penetrator

Penetrator with a gland: the cable is clamped rather than potted, so it can be repositioned or replaced without destroying the fitting.

Specifications
  • M8 thread
  • Collet cable clamp
  • Cable can be replaced without destroying the gland
СКР-8012

M10 copper gland penetrator

Brass body: better seawater resistance and heat dissipation when carrying high current.

Specifications
  • M10 thread
  • Brass body
  • For high-current circuits
СКР-8013

Gland penetrator

Penetrator for cables of any diameter within range. One size covers several applications.

Specifications
  • Clamp covering a range of cable diameters
  • O-ring sealed
СКР-8014

Cable penetrator blank

Fitted into an unused hull opening. Allows spare openings to be built in and used later as needed.

Specifications
  • Closes an unused port
  • Same mounting size as the gland
СКР-8015

UNF blank plug

Blanking plug with UNF thread - the standard used in subsea equipment.

Specifications
  • UNF thread
  • O-ring sealed
СКР-8016

Penetrator connecting tube

Joins two penetrators: allows a cable to pass through two walls or forms a demountable assembly.

Specifications
  • Joins two glands
  • Sealed on both sides
СКР-8017

Underwater cable

Cable for subsea installation: the jacket neither swells in water nor stiffens in the cold.

Specifications
  • Stranded conductors
  • Jacket resistant to water and low temperatures
СКР-8018

Underwater shielded cable

Shielded: used for signal lines running alongside power - otherwise thruster interference reaches the video and telemetry.

Specifications
  • Shielded
  • For signal lines routed alongside power lines
СКР-8019

Underwater connector

Demountable connection for subsea installation: an assembly can be removed for service without cutting the cable.

Specifications
  • Connectorised joint
  • Watertight construction
