The cables support the instruments and provide the means for electrical signals to pass between the instruments and the vessel. It is typically called "CTD wire". The following specifications describe in general terms the significant characteristics the cable design must have. No priority is implied by the order given. General: An electromechanical cable is required to lower various scientific instruments over the side of an oceangoing research vessel. The cable shall be capable of safely lowering an instrument to 10,000 m water depth in the dynamic environment caused by ship and wave motion, and lowering/raising speeds of 52 m/min. Multiple conductors are required for the real time transmission of electrical data and control signals and for redundancy. The cable shall be capable of being stored under tension for five years on single drum winches to multiple layers. Resistance to crushing is required. It is expected that payloads will frequently produce loading of the cable (both static + dynamic) approaching 50% of rated breaking strength (RBS). The cable will be used with LEBUS grooved drum shell. The cable must be compatible with existing LEBUS grooved shells for a Markey DESH-5 winch. As listed below: An electromechanical cable, Rochester Corporation or equivalent. part number A305678, A301592 Characteristics: Please see Attached Document HB322 DELIVERABLE DELIVERY DATE: Deliver before 01 Jun 2020 Place of Delivery NOAA SHIP HENRY B.
