1.2.3 Tow Cables
The tow cables are used to both connect and tow the Towfish. They are available in the customer’s choice
of Kevlar-reinforced, shown in F
IGURE 1-7 or armored styles, and both types can be terminated at both
ends or just at the Towfish end depending on customer requirements.
Both cable types include a single conductor and a shield. They also include an MCIL6F female wet-
pluggable connector on the towfish end and either an MCIL4M male wet-pluggable connector on the
topside processor end or an open termination at this end for direct connection to the slip rings of a winch.
A cable grip is included for attaching the tow cable to the towing arm of the towfish.
