During a recent Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition, specialized cables from RouLine were deployed for critical underwater equipment, including underwater vehicles and sensor systems. These cold temperature resistant underwater umbilical cables were required to perform reliably in extreme conditions: seawater temperatures below -2°C, high pressure, and potential mechanical abrasion from ice.

The umbilical cables that maintain performance in cold seawater, designed for antarctic applications, feature a flexible, ultra low temperature resistant jacket and a multi-layer shielded structure. This design maintains flexibility in temperatures as low as -40°C while ensuring long-term integrity against water pressure.

The integrated umbilical cables provide both power supply and stable data transmission, enabling real-time HD video feedback from submersibles and continuous data collection from various environmental sensors.

The engineers noted the importance of durable and dependable equipment for the success and safety of mission-critical operations in the remote polar environment. The cables' performance contributed to the acquisition of consistent scientific data throughout the deployment period.

This application in Antarctica demonstrates the use of RouLine cable solutions in supporting advanced scientific research under some of the planet's most challenging conditions.
