CABLE HARNESSES

0.5% INCREASE IN BUDGET COULD ELIMINATE 100% OF INSURANCE LOSSES
Scientific Management International, the only manufacturer in the world to hold 20 years of continuous Ministry of Defence capability approval for the supply of through hull penetrators for nuclear submarines, have calculated an increase in overall project cost of cable systems from only 10% to 10.5% should extinguish cable system failures completely
With a 25 year heritage in submarines, the same technology is now being transferred to solve the challenges of cable losses in marine, aerospace, transport and pertinently energy where average downtime for cable losses exceeds 100 days.
REPORT FINDINGS A report following a year-long detailed investigation by broking and risk specialist Genillard & Co reported 90 subsea cable losses over the last seven years, with a total value in excess of €350 million in insurance claims alone!
This report, based on industry information and a series of 1-2-1 interviews with
leading stakeholders in the wind insurance sector, found that whilst subsea cable incidents typically account for 80% of global offshore windfarm insurance losses they represent only 10% of the capital cost.
A 2017 report concerning UK windfarms by the Offshore Wind Programme Board found that the average repair cost from publically disclosed cable repair costs was £12.5 million or to put it another way it’s costing £170,000 for every km of high voltage export cable currently in service.
Making the right connection with your cable harnesses will result in right first time, fit and forget operational performance.
WHAT IS A CABLE HARNESS? Typically cable harnesses for subsea installations are constructed with either connector terminations, gland terminations or combinations of both.
Whilst connector options offer the ability for modular build and installation methodology, gland options offer a potentially lower cost solution to a connector, the trade-off being reduced modular build and installation capability.

The material choice also plays a key role in the success of the harness once it has been installed. Wrong material choice, or poor cable design, can lead to corrosion
