Xtreme-Net^® Deep Water Ethernet

The Xtreme-Net^® underwater video cable is designed for use in deep-water with pressure up to 10,000 PSI. These uniquely designed underwater video cables can maintain high-speed Ethernet data transmission under extreme pressure in bottom-laid applications. Xtreme-Net^® cables have been tested and validated to meet industry Ethernet standard TIA/EIA-568B, with less than 2% change in values when tested to 6,000 PSI. We have achieved data rates of 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, 270Mbps Digital video and up to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet achieved.

Xtreme-Cat^® 5e

This cable can be used in Homeland Security, oceanographic and observation environments as well as extreme marine environments.

These Data Network/Power Composite Cables are extremely rugged yet flexible, with water-blocked construction. Designed for underwater use with high-speed network data, video, and sensor equipment, these cables are suitable for bottom-laid, vertical deployment and ROV applications. Our Xtreme-Cat^® 5e 4 pair stranded conductors meet or exceed TIA 568-B. This underwater video cable features Falmat’s specially formulated “Xtreme-grade” polyurethane jacket for easier payout, tighter bends, and better tractor control with extremely low coefficient of friction.
