Subsea Cable Tracking System
The HydroPACT 350 provides a reliable and simple
method for performing accurate submarine surveys
on a tone-carrying cable. It is available as a 110V sys-
tem or a 240V system, both depth rated to 3,000m
with a 6,000m option.
The 350 system operates in real-time and provides ac-
curate measurements at a rate that allows integration
on faster ROVs. The measurement technology used by
the system also allows it to operate out of water with data logging equipment as well as also being used
