Designed to survive vibration, salt air, tight bulkhead routing, and real-world dock pressure.
| Cable architecture | Category 6A, double-shielded (SF/UTP or SF/FTP) high-flex marine jacket |
| Conductor | Stranded copper (vibration tolerant) |
| Termination | Shielded metal RJ45 termination with 360° shield bonding |
| QC protocol | Wiremap + continuity + shield/ground verification; serial recorded before shipment |
| Delivery | Pilot partners: next-business-day OC delivery (standard lead times vary by batch) |
Each end is labeled to your convention, then protected under clear 3:1 adhesive-lined heat shrink. The shrink bonds to jacket + label, creating a waterproof, abrasion-resistant, permanent ID right at the port — so technicians can identify runs instantly without re-labeling on the dock.
Why it matters: marine installs fail at the edges — loose IDs, smeared ink, corrosion, and rework. We lock the ID down at the termination so your documentation stays true.
| We cover | Verified defects in SaltLink workmanship/materials. If it doesn’t pass your tester on the dock, we replace it. |
| We don’t cover | Starlink service availability, VLAN/IP configuration, or damage during routing (crush, bend radius violations, water intrusion into non-sealed endpoints). |
