ROV Tether Cable Solutions for Demanding Applications

Concept Cables designs and manufactures high-performance tether cables for remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) used across defence, survey, and exploration applications.

Every ROV system is unique, and so are its connectivity needs. We work closely with clients to develop fully customised cable solutions that integrate:

 

  • Power transmission (low and high voltage)
  • Data and signal lines (including twisted pairs, coax & serial comms)
  • Fibre optic elements for high-bandwidth communication
  • Load-bearing and strain members
  • Buoyancy control (neutral or positive)
  • Protective armouring and anti-vibration features

Operating in some of the most demanding environments on the planet, ROV systems depend on reliable power and data transmission to perform critical tasks with precision and safety. Our ROV tether cables are engineered to deliver consistent electrical and fibre-optic performance while withstanding extreme mechanical and environmental stress. Tethers can be custom designed to be neutrally buoyant, reducing drag, improving vehicle manoeuvrability, and minimising strain on both the ROV and launch-and-recovery systems.

Built for flexibility, strength, and long service life, each cable resists abrasion, crushing, and fatigue under repeated deployment cycles. Working closely with OEMs and operators, Concept Cables provides bespoke tether solutions tailored to specific mission requirements, including conductor configuration, fibre count, strength members, buoyancy characteristics, and jacket materials.

Backed by rigorous in-house testing and proven field performance, our ROV tether cables deliver dependable connectivity for mission-critical operations—where failure is not an option.

Whether you need a lightweight tether, a reinforced umbilical, or a multi-functional hybrid cable, we design each solution from the ground up to match your exact operational environment and performance goals.

We deliver innovative, high-quality, sustainable cable solutions. Rigorously tested, ISO-certified, reliable, and tailored to meet each customer’s precise, long-term needs.
