Offshore Production Control Cables

Cables for MUX control umbilicals, BOP control systems, and other offshore oil production applications.

Rochester Cable designs armored electro-optical and hybrid cables for MUX control umbilicals, BOP control systems, and related offshore production equipment. These cables are engineered to order around your field architecture, water depth, and control requirements.

Where offshore production control cables are used

Rochester Cable’s offshore production control cables are used in safety-critical systems such as multiplexed (MUX) control umbilicals and blowout preventer (BOP) control systems, where reliable power, control, and communication links are essential in harsh offshore environments.

MUX Control Umbilicals
Cables that connect topside control systems to subsea equipment, carrying power, control signals, and optical data between platform and seabed.

BOP Control Cables
Armored cables used in blowout preventer (BOP) control systems, supporting reliable operation and monitoring in harsh offshore environments.

Production and Exploration Infrastructure
Cables used as part of production control, intervention, and monitoring systems in offshore oil and gas fields.

Performance in offshore environments

Cables for offshore production must handle dynamic loads, pressure, and repeated handling while maintaining electrical and optical performance. Rochester Cable designs focus on:

  • Stable performance over operating depth and temperature
  • Armor and strength systems to address mechanical demands
  • Materials selected for exposure to fluids and offshore conditions

Configuring MUX and BOP cable designs

Offshore production control cables draw on the same core technologies Rochester Cable uses across its harsh-environment portfolio, combining optical fibers, electrical conductors, strength members, and armor systems in a single construction. Depending on your control philosophy and umbilical layout, we can configure fiber counts, conductor sizes, armoring, and redundancy to suit your system.

Electro-Optical Elements

Fibers used for data, telemetry, and communication links between topside and subsea equipment.

Hybrid Power and Signal Paths

Electrical conductors sized for power and control functions within the same armored cable.

Strength Members and Armor Systems

Mechanical elements selected to match route, tension, and handling requirements.

Jackets and Materials

Outer sheaths and material systems chosen for offshore fluids, pressure, and temperature conditions.
