ChimeraX™ Amphibious Heavy Armored Fiber Optic Cable

Hermesys ChimeraX™ series amphibious cable is a unique design for island data connection with high fiber count demand. Maximum 864F fiber is 6 times higher than existing subsea cable 144F limitation. The cable can be used for under water installation or long distance horizontal directional drilling.
