Abstract

Embodiments of submersible composite cables include a non-composite electrically conductive core cable, a multiplicity of composite cables, including a multiplicity of composite wires, around the core cable, and an insulative sheath surrounding the composite cables. Other embodiments include an electrically conductive core cable; a multiplicity of elements selected from fluid transport, electrical power transmission, electrical signal transmission, light transmission, weight elements, buoyancy elements, filler elements, or armor elements, arranged around the core cable in at least one cylindrical layer defined about a center longitudinal axis of the core cable when viewed in a radial cross section; a multiplicity of composite wires surrounding the elements in at least one cylindrical layer about the center longitudinal axis; and an insulative sheath surrounding the composite wires. The composite wires may be metal matrix or polymer composite wires. Methods of making and using submersible composite cables are also disclosed.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related patent applications [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 226,056 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 226,151, filed July 16, 2009, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference . technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to diving composite cables and methods of making and using them. The invention also relates to a diving composite cable usable as an umbilical or tether. Background technique [0004] Submarine cables are used to transmit power and signals to great depths for many subsea applications including offshore oil wellheads, robotic vehicle operations, submarine power transmission and fiber optic cables. Submersible cables for underwater power transmission are known, for example, US Patent No. 4,345,112 (Sugata et al.) and US Patent Application Publication No. 2007 / 0044992 (Bremnes). Such submersible transmissio...
