50 Ohm High-Voltage Coaxial Armoured Tow Cable
50 Ohm High-Voltage Coaxial Armoured Tow Cable brings 1 selectable construction options together for RF, telemetry, video and marine-system engineers. Compare the complete signal, electrical and mechanical requirement before choosing a configuration.
- Selection focus: match a mechanically reinforced 50 ohm coaxial route to RF, telemetry or video equipment
- Available configurations: 1
- Mechanical inputs: cable length, working load, drum, sheave, routing and deployment cycle
- Quotation inputs: services, environment, termination, quantity and required inspection documents
50 Ohm High-Voltage Coaxial Armoured Tow Cable selection overview
The 50 Ohm High-Voltage Coaxial Armoured Tow Cable gives RF, telemetry, video and marine-system engineers one clear route for comparing 1 available constructions. It is designed to match a mechanically reinforced 50 ohm coaxial route to RF, telemetry or video equipment. Keeping the options in one product group makes it easier to compare signal architecture, conductor or fibre content, armour, diameter, mechanical load and bend geometry without switching between separate product pages.
Selection starts with the equipment interface: define voltage and current, signal type and frequency, coaxial impedance and allowable attenuation, or fibre type, count and wavelength as applicable. Then define whether the cable will be static, suspended, reeled, towed or repeatedly deployed. Cable length, working load, breaking-load criterion, drum and sheave dimensions, temperature, water environment, abrasion, buoyancy and the connector or moulded termination must be reviewed as one system.
- Compare: construction, transmission values, outside diameter, load and bend data shown for each option.
- Confirm: the complete service combination and the operating values that apply at the required cable length.
- Specify: inspection stages, test methods, acceptance values, marking and documentation in the quotation.

50 Ohm High-Voltage Coaxial Armoured Tow Cable construction options
Compare the complete layer sequence for each option. Conductor or fibre elements, insulation, screening, fillers, bedding, strength members, armour and outer sheath are selected together to suit the transmission and deployment duty.| Configuration | Construction |
|---|---|
| 50 Ω high-voltage coaxial tow configuration | 1 × 50 Ω coax; PP; two preformed galvanized steel armour layers |
Construction selection
Armour material and lay, sheath material, waterblocking, screening and fibre protection are matched to corrosion exposure, abrasion, repeated bending, handling load and termination design. The armour anchoring and connector or moulded transition are reviewed with the cable because they control how load and water sealing are transferred into the equipment.Applications for 50 Ohm High-Voltage Coaxial Armoured Tow Cable
This product group supports RF, telemetry, video and marine-system engineers where transmission performance and mechanical deployment duty must be selected together.- Marine RF, telemetry and video systems designed around a verified 50 Ω interface.
- Winch-deployed instruments where the cable also carries deployment load and the termination anchors the armour correctly.
- Confirm frequency, allowable attenuation, cable length, drum and sheave dimensions before selecting this route.
Information needed for selection
Provide the equipment, cable length, service voltages or signals, load criterion, winch and sheave dimensions, deployment method, water environment, temperature, buoyancy target, connector or moulding interface and required inspection documents.50 Ohm High-Voltage Coaxial Armoured Tow Cable specifications
Use the stated values to compare complete configuration options. Empty properties are omitted instead of being estimated, and each numerical value stays with the construction under which it is listed.50 Ω high-voltage coaxial tow configuration
| Construction | 1 × 50 Ω coax; PP; two preformed galvanized steel armour layers |
|---|---|
| Voltage / test value | 3000 V |
| Impedance | 50 Ω @ 1 MHz |
| Coaxial attenuation | < 5.6 dB/km @ 1 MHz |
| Outside diameter | 14.15 mm |
| Breaking load | 89 kN |
| Working load | 22 kN |

Using the values
Breaking load is not the normal operating load. Bend values must match drums, sheaves, guides and connector exits. A voltage entry that includes a duration is a dielectric test value rather than a continuous rated voltage. Confirm the applicable operating and acceptance values in the quotation.Standards and test references
The applicable references are selected for the confirmed cable construction and project duty. They provide a framework for engineering and inspection rather than a one-size-fits-all cable designation.- IEC 61196-1: General definitions, design requirements and test-method framework for coaxial communication cables.
- IEC 61196-1-100: General conditions for electrical tests in the IEC 61196 coaxial-cable test series.
- Project test plan: Defines impedance and attenuation frequency, dielectric test conditions, tensile load, bend method, water exposure and termination checks.
