Installation recommendations for marine and offshore cables
The basis for all installation work of marine and offshore cables from BizLink are the technical data specified in the data sheets.
The following recommendations are valid for all cables ›
All installation work should only be carried out by instructed qualified personnel. The cables to be installed must be selected in such a way that they comply with the specified operating conditions and can withstand the anticipated environmental influences.
The installation work should only be carried out with cables at a uniform temperature, observing the minimum laying temperature. During the installation, it is forbidden to connect the cables.
While installation work is being carried out, the cables may only be subjected to a uniform tensile force. This may be a maximum of 50 N/mm² copper wire conductor cross-section for power and control cables, but a maximum of 1000 N unless other values are specified in the data sheet.
Cables for fixed installation must be permanently fastened in an appropriate manner after being pulled in. This fastening must not damage or cut the cable.
Further installation specifications are contained in the EN 50565-1 standard.
Especially for Ethernet cables you can find the installation guideline in our flyer.
