This underwater specialty cable is custom built for a broad range of applications that require direct contact with water. The EPR insulation formula enables the cable to operate underwater without the need for an impervious barrier such as a lead sheath, making installation easier and cost-efficient. The cable also includes an additional polyethylene jacket and stranded, filled 5- to 35-kV copper conductors, shielded by a non-conducting Permashield stress control layer and a copper tape or concentric wire metallic shield.
