Overview

CHASING Buoyancy Tether is a durable, yellow positive-buoyancy cable designed for long-range operation of CHASING underwater drones. Built with multi-stranded tinned copper conductors and Kevlar filler, it offers excellent acid/alkali resistance, tear resistance, and non-hygroscopic performance. Rated for -50 C to 80 C (-122 F to 176 F) and 220 lbf / 100 kgf tensile capacity, the tether maintains signal and power reliability over extended lengths. Available in 200 m, 300 m, and 400 m options to match mission distance and deployment style.

Key Features

• High-strength construction: tinned copper cores with Kevlar reinforcement.

• Chemically resistant jacket with low water absorption and high tear resistance.

• Wide operating temperature range: -50 C to 80 C (-122 F to 176 F).

• Tensile capacity: 220 lbf / 100 kgf for confident handling and retrieval.
