General Cable - MOR™ Polyrad® Type P Listed Offshore Cables

General Cable has engineered a next generation of marine shipboard cables designed to perform within the tough demands of today's ester-based mud oil drilling for increased safety and improved productivity. MOR™ Polyrad® XT-125 product line is proven optimized for enhanced mud oil resistance, while continuing to meet the rigorous requirements of IEEE Std 45 and 1580 with maximum flexibility and flame retardant characteristics, resistance to environmental conditions, and excellent mechanical properties.

MARINE CABLES FOR DRILLING RIGS, SEMI-SUBMERSIBLES AND OFFSHORE PLATFORMS

From drilling rigs and semi-submersibles to offshore platforms, General Cable offers a full line of MOR™ Polyrad®XT-125 Marine IEEE Std 45 and 1580 Type P listed cables. As a leader, General Cable has played a significant role in the development of an Irradiated Cross-Linked Hypalon® Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CP) thermoset jacket with enhanced mud oil resistance, maximum flexibility and abrasion resistance to stand up to the severe stresses of installation and operation in hostile environments. Our Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CP) based system has superior low temperature properties, passing cold impact at -40°C and cold bend at -55°C, while offering longer aging and ozone resistance beyond that of a neoprene based system.

MOR™ Polyrad® XT-125 MARINE CABLES

MOR™Polyrad® XT-125 Type P Marine cables utilize a unique jacket system that is an extra-heavy-duty arctic-grade thermosetting Hypalon® cross-linked by irradiation to insure superior overall cable flexibility, as well as physical, chemical and environmental properties with overall enhanced mud oil resistance. Our insulation features a tough flame-retardant thermosetting Polyrad XT-125 system cross-linked by irradiation permitting higher ampacity ratings and reduced physical size. As a result, this insulation system has superior heat resistance and abrasion performance.

Irradiation cross-linking offers singularly important advantages, including highly flexible cable; better electrical properties (no chemical catalyst required, no residues that corrode copper); cables and interstices kept free of water (water is not used in radiation cure process); plus a wide range of insulation thickness options. The end result is a marine cable with superior flexibility, heat, flame, moisture, oil, chemical, and abrasion resistance with very low smoke and low temperature properties and outstanding mechanical toughness simply not attainable with conventional insulation/jacket systems.

MARINE SHIPBOARD FIBER OPTIC CABLES

Fiber Optic cables have gained rapid acceptance in recent years for the offshore industry because of the escalating demand for security and information integrity. From industrial-grade process control and outside plant fiber optic cables, to commercial-grade marine fiber optic shipboard cables to blown optical fiber systems, General Cable can meet the most stringent demands. Our ultra-rugged Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) irradiated designs are suitable for data transmission and communication applications.

HYBRID CABLES

General Cable has extensive engineering expertise in the design and manufacture of hybrid cables. Any power, control, fiber optic and coaxial cables can be combined under one overall jacket or sheath to meet a special purpose requirement. General Cable is one of only a few companies that can supply multiple industries with custom cabling solutions by combining materials and manufacturing processes.

General Cable's extensive experience in the offshore industry translates into a clear understanding of international standards and specifications that a global market demands. Our advanced technology and worldwide resources give us the ability to engineer and manufacture standard and custom cable solutions for long-term reliable performance.
