We design every cable termination specifically for each project. This means we always try to find the perfect solution for the connection between the cable and the client interfaces. The clearer you can get the termination specification, the fewer iterations the design will need, and the more quickly it can be achieved.  Below, you will find 10 useful pointers for writing a great termination specification. 

A central component of our cables is a stranded copper wire, which is able to conduct electricity. Around it we extrude a continuous layer of plastic to isolate the copper from its surrounding environment. Twisting this together with other components, forms our custom designed cable.

The plastic has to be a good insulator and thick enough to prevent the copper from shorting to the outside world. Many of our cables operate in deepwater under high pressure, so we need to make sure that our insulation is sturdy enough to keep the water out. Contamination in the plastic will cause the insulation to deteriorate over time and eventually fail.
