Customer-specific fiber optic cabling solutions for underwater and subsea applications

Customers around the world benefit from using AFL fiber optic cable and components in subsea umbilicals and towed arrays. With its patented stainless steel tube technology, AFL delivers robust and flexible designs to withstand the most extreme subsea pressures and temperatures.

 
AFL understands the intricacies of the highly demanding oil and gas industry and works closely with customers to determine temperature, pressure, chemical environment, depth and other criteria necessary to develop cable constructions that deliver results for upstream, midstream and downstream processes.
 
The AFL solutions include:
 AFL also specializes in downhole fiber optic cabling structures and components that include:
  • Traditional design for <150°C
  • High temperature design for 300°C and above
  • Low profile designs where space is a premium such as coiled tubing
  • MiniBend™ component for downhole double-ended systems for improved sensing performance
As drilling moves further offshore, traditional copper wire will not handle the greater distances with enough bandwidth. It has imperative to employ fiber optic products to allow the use of the newest technologies that generate considerable data. AFL is already assisting customers as they deploy distributed acoustic and distributed temperature monitoring.
 
Relationships with sensing equipment manufacturers enable AFL to participate in the development of the newest technologies. As the need for more sophisticated fiber optic applications develops, AFL remains on the leading edge in the customization of cables using different optical fibers, alloys and outer encapsulations.
 
As a wholly-owned subsidary of Fujikura, the global fiber optic manufacturer, AFL's vertical integration provides supply chain security. By producing the optical fiber, wire, steel tubing and other key components in house, AFL can serve customers from any location worldwide.
