The innovative subsea cable system

Our modular cables are built on industry-proven oil-filled technology and offer a bombproof electrical connection solution for one of the harshest environments on Earth.

The universal subsea cable system

Our cables are truly modular and in-field reconfigurable. Say goodbye to the waste, expense and inconvenience of traditional moulded units.

The efficient subsea cable system

With a 3x lifespan, easy in-field repair and reduced inventory, Röhlok cables will directly reduce your downtime and maintenance expenditure.

About Röhlok

At Röhlok, our mission is to revolutionise deep-water subsea equipment connectivity. Our patented innovative oil-filled cable system empowers industries operating offshore with unmatched reliability, ease of use and sustainability; delivering electrical connection solutions that enhance operational efficiency and minimise downtime.

The unique design of our cables means that in addition to being incredibly durable and slim-line, they offer a straightforward and repeatable method for in-field repair and reconfiguration, reducing waste and increasing your bottom line.

Why choose Röhlok?

Reliable

Our cables are constructed of 316 stainless steel, non- plasticised polyurethane tubing and MILSPEC grade TFE coated conductors. They are designed to exceed the requirements of most modern work-class ROVS and ancillary equipment and are tested and certified for use to a depth of 3400MSW,

Reconfigurable

Our system is truly modular and reconfigurable. If a specific cable is unexpectedly required there is no need to pay the high cost of having a custom unit moulded at short notice; instead a Röhlok modular cable can be easily in-field-reconfigured for any specific application or piece of equipment.

Cost-effective

In addition to our cables lasting significantly longer than moulded-rubber units, in the unlikely situation that any part is damaged that part alone can easily be replaced at a fraction of the cost of a whole new cable. This vastly reduces the stock required, directly reducing your maintenance expenditure..

Our Products

The Röhlok modular cable system consists of a range of infinitely reconfigurable cables for deep-water subsea equipment applications.

Dual-end

The Röhlok dual-end oil-filled cable is designed to be a convenient state-of-the-art replacement for traditional moulded cables.

Single-end

Developed at customer request, the Röhlok single-end oil-filled cable is designed to adapt traditional moulded tails to superior oil-filled system.

Multi-end

The Röhlok multi-end oil-filled cable is elegant and robust replacement for leaky potted joints in Y-spliced moulded cables.

Seanet specific / custom variants

Due to our unique modular design, custom cable requests can easily be accomodated by our workshop, or even created in-field by modifying an existing unit.

Why are oil-filled cables superior to other subsea cables?

Oil-filled cables have several advantages over moulded rubber or plastic cables. Some of the advantages are:            
• Oil-filled cables are significantly more reliable than other subsea cable types            
• Oil-filled cables are easily field repairable and modifiable            
• Oil-filled cables are significantly more cost effective than other subsea cable types

How are Röhlok modular cable systems different?

The patented Röhlok modular cable system is an new approach to electrical cabling. The innovative design is both durable and slim-line. This makes handling and routing as easy as a moulded rubber cable while still offering a straightforward and reliable method for in-field repair and reconfiguration.

Are oil-filled cables awkward and messy to make and repair?

Traditionally, yes. However, the Röhlok modular cable system overcomes all of the fiddly and messy parts. Every aspect of the assembly and filling process has been carefully designed to be clean and efficient leading to reduced downtime, less waste, and higher technician satisfaction.

Does the tubing become brittle and crack?

Röhlok uses custom extruded German tubing that, unlike another well-known brand commonly used offshore, does not contain plasticisers. This means our tubing remains flexible even when exposed to UV light and hydrocarbons.

How is the Röhlok modular cable system cost effective?

The Röhlok modular cable system is more cost effective than any other subsea cable system for a few key reasons:

Firstly, because it is more reliable than other cable systems. Independent testing commissioned by a number of ROV companies has confirmed that oil-filled cables have an expected life at least three times that of a moulded rubber unit. There are two main reasons why:            
•    The conductors are free to move within the outer sheath which means less stress and chance of an open circuit.            
•    There is no moulding to delaminate around the cable sheath, removing the potential for water ingress and short circuiting between conductors.

Secondly, the Röhlok modular cable system is unique in that it is truly modular. In the unlikely situation that any part is damaged that part alone can easily be replaced, vastly reducing the stock required and directly reducing your maintenance expenditure.

Finally, because our cables are reconfigurable. If you need a specific cable for an obscure piece of rental equipment that turned up with the incorrect plug for your ROV, you no longer need to pay the high costs associated with having a custom unit moulded at short notice, just reconfigure one - easy!
