The 15-ton SAH is a high protected single layer armored, loose tube cable for submarine installation where high protection is required.

This submarine cable is based on a hermetically sealed stainless steel tube. Inside the tube the fibers are free to move in thixotropic water blocking compound. The steel tube is protected by a polyethylene sheath. Outside the sheath there is one layer of galvanized steel wires.

The steel wires are flooded in bitumen. The complete cable is wrapped with a layer of polypropylene yarns.

The steel wire reinforcement provides reliable mechanical protection, enabling installation and operation during rough conditions.

High packing density of the fibers is provided by the loose tube technique. This permits a small outer diameter and easy handling of the cable.

The fibers are colored for easy identification.
