FIBER IN METAL TUBES

Self-Supporting Downhole Cable

A Downhole Cable for Harsh Environments

The intelligent design of the Self-Supporting Downhole Cable (SDC) is the standout characteristic of this fiber optic cable. The helical shape of the FIMT (Fiber in Metal Tube) locks the EFL in place; this is true even for long vertical installation lengths, where fibers in straight cables usually fall because of gravity.

The outer stranding wires are made of highly corrosion-resistant steel grades, guaranteeing the fiber optic cable’s performance and flexibility even in the harshest environments. In addition, the design allows for a separation between the optical fiber and potential copper wiring, making it perfect for integration in hybrid cables.

The downhole cable is designed for the harsh surroundings of the Oil & Gas Industry, providing expert Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). Contact one of our experts today if the Self-supporting Downhole Cable is the product you need for one of your projects. Every one of our cables is customizable to the precise requirements of every challenge.
