Shipbuilders know that many kilometres of cable are used to connect the various different systems. Some systems are crucial and must remain operational under the most extreme conditions. This also applies to the offshore industry. Oilrigs are just like machine halls, complete with living quarters. The machines work day and night, the men who are off duty watch TV, listen to the radio, surf the Internet, listen to music or phone their family at home, so that a number of different systems work simultaneously 24 hours a day.

All these systems must be connected in order to exchange both analogue and digital data and all this information can be sent across E&T cables and connectors.

Standard cables can be used for most situations. Under special circumstances, such as the influence of the weather, movement, the tool life or the influence of electromagnetic fields, there is a need for special cables (STP, fibre) in combination with watertight or electromagnetic connectors.

For example, the connection between a marine telephone and the aerial must be made using low-loss coax cable. Due to their flame retardant properties, Low Smoke Zero Halogen cables are often used for these types of systems.

E&T can also offer a suitable solution of cables, connectors, patches, special panels and connection systems for a complete data and telephone network.

For the networks used in maritime systems, E&T has an FTP, F2TP, STP Category 6 and Category 7 (draft) data transmission and telecommunications cabling concept for shipping, offshore and industrial use which has Lloyd’s Register Approval in accordance with ISO/IEC11801, EN50173, IE60332-1.

The prevailing environmental factors, such as UV radiation, corrosion, heavy rainfall, snow, freezing temperatures, high wind speeds, extreme temperature changes and internal condensation, are taken into consideration for projects with exterior switch boxes.
