Custom Hydraulic Umbilical Cable

Hydraulic umbilical cables integrate high-pressure hydraulic hoses with power conductors, fiber optics and signal cores into a single rugged cable solution. They are widely used in work-class ROVs and offshore equipment that require reliable hydraulic power and data transmission in harsh underwater environments. For systems combining hydraulic, electrical and communication functions, they are often used as part of a complete ROV Umbilical Cable solution.

As a custom industrial cable manufacturer, we design hydraulic umbilical cables with configurable hose sizes, electrical conductors, optical fibers, strength members and jacket materials to meet your operating depth, pressure rating and mechanical performance requirements. For applications requiring integrated power, fiber optics and fluid transmission, explore our Hybrid Subsea Cable solutions.
