Cable solutions for fish farms

The future of fish farming: offshore aquaculture

Recent studies show that offshore facilities for fish and seafood production offer significant advantages over coastal aquaculture. Space constraints and frequent parasite infestations in conventional breeding facilities are leading to more and more fish farms being relocated to the open Atlantic. Numerous factors must be taken into account when constructing these offshore facilities:

• Current, salinity, temperature, sea state
• Hydraulic systems for lowering the equipment – protection against severe storms
• Reliable electrical infrastructure for feeding, cleaning, and medication monitoring

Aquaculture facilities near the coast and on the high seas are exposed to severe stresses. Secure cabling is essential for operation.

Perfect for demanding underwater applications

The combination of cross-linked ethylene propylene rubber (EPR)—a halogen-free synthetic rubber—and the excellent properties of PUR as an outer jacket offers:

• Outstanding water resistance and electrical insulation
• Pressure resistance up to 20 bar (equivalent to approx. 200 meters immersion depth)
• Permanent use in water from -40 °C to +50 °C

These outstanding properties have been confirmed in long-term tests and in real-world use in sea, lake, and river water.
