Overview
Built Around Your Application
The umbilical is the lifeline of any ROV operation — carrying power, communications, and control signals between the surface and the vehicle. A failure in the umbilical means a failed mission. C.A. Richards represents Nexans, a global leader in subsea cable and umbilical technology, providing ROV operators and system integrators with tether cables and umbilical systems engineered to perform in the most demanding subsea environments.
