Abstract
Two high strength, low weight, prototype, electromechanical cables have been developed for use in remote control of undersea systems operating to depths of 20,000 feet. Both cables incorporate tension members of KEVLAR-49 as the load-bearing section. Design details are given for each cable. Recommendations are made of the most effective ways to utilize KEVLAR-49 in undersea cables, as well as hazards to be avoided with this new material.
