Cables are used for supplying power to the oil and gas platforms, transmitting data, and shore-to-platform and internal communications. Offshore cables and cable management system solutions are classified based on the functions for which they are being used.

Some of the common types of cables used are:

The cables used in the offshore sector need to be strong enough to withstand rough weather conditions and corrosion environments. Some of the features considered when selecting cables are listed below.

The installation of offshore cable systems is a highly engineered process and requires the use of special cable-laying vessels and equipment.

The quality of the submarine cable installation process is important as any faults or defects can lead to costly repair and maintenance activities.
