50m
* Maximum working load and winch/capstan use guidelines are calculated and tested using new cables. Repeated use and the various mooring configuration and environmental considerations may alter these guidelines.
Smart Mooring Nodes
Nodes are universal and extremely durable. Add up to three subsurface sensors throughout the water column. Colocate and combine subsurface data with Spotter’s surface measurements to maximize understanding of the operating environment.
