Overview

UNITECH’s SuperCable is a next-generation subsea transmission system developed through an extended programme of engineering, prototyping, and qualification testing.  It is designed to support high-capacity offshore renewable generation and subsea grid expansion. The technology benefits from global patent protection, providing documented intellectual property coverage across multiple jurisdictions.

Technical & Operational Significance

• High-capacity subsea transmission architecture suitable for floating wind export, inter-array networks, and long-distance subsea power transfer.
• Enhanced mechanical and fatigue performance intended for dynamic offshore environments and deep-water applications.
• Thermal, electrical, and structural design features optimised through multi-year engineering development.
• Compatibility with floating platforms, reducing mechanical stresses at cable hang-off points and improving lifecycle reliability.
• Qualification testing conducted across electrical, mechanical, and cyclic-loading regimes to validate performance under operational conditions.
• Global patent protection that secures the core design and supports controlled commercial deployment.

Applications

• Floating offshore wind export systems, including dynamic cable sections.
• Offshore grid infrastructure, interconnectors, and subsea transmission corridors.
• Long-distance renewable energy export, where high capacity and reliability are required.
• Hybrid cable systems integrating power and auxiliary functions for emerging offshore technologies.
• Research and development deployments requiring validated next-generation subsea cable architectures.

Strategic Importance

UNITECH’s SuperCable addresses one of the central constraints in offshore renewable expansion: the limitations of existing subsea transmission systems.  As grid operators and offshore developers move towards deeper water, larger turbines, and higher-capacity offshore clusters, the demand for cables with improved dynamic performance and greater electrical throughput continues to increase.

The combination of technical performance, extended engineering validation, and international patent coverage positions UNITECH’s SuperCable as a relevant platform technology within future offshore grid planning and floating wind development.

Why It Matters

For energy developers, cable manufacturers, utilities, or defence-adjacent infrastructure operators, UNITECH’s SuperCable offers:

• A fully developed, patent-protected transmission concept ready for integration into new or expanding offshore networks.
• Reduced technical risk due to its extended qualification history and targeted engineering around dynamic environments.
• Compatibility with floating wind, an area where demand for advanced subsea cables is expected to outpace supply for the next decade.
• Immediate intellectual property advantages, avoiding multi-year design and patent cycles.
• A foundation for commercial scaling, technology licensing, or integration into broader subsea grid strategies.

UNITECH’s SuperCable represents a next-generation transmission platform that aligns with emerging requirements in offshore renewable energy and underwater power distribution.
