Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fibre‑optic multiplexer and why is it used on ROVs?

A fibre‑optic multiplexer (MUX) is a device that combines multiple data streams—such as video, sonar, sensor telemetry and control signals—into a single optical fibre. In ROV systems, this allows high‑bandwidth communication between the vehicle and the surface while keeping the tether light and manageable. By transmitting many signals over one fibre, MUX units enable remote control and real‑time data monitoring even at great depths.

What are the benefits of using fibre‑optic multiplexers in underwater operations?

Fibre‑optic multiplexers provide several advantages: they support long‑distance data transmission with minimal signal loss, offer high bandwidth for live video and sensor data, and reduce the number of cables in an ROV tether. They’re also resistant to electromagnetic interference, making them ideal for subsea environments where reliability and data quality are critical.

How do fibre‑optic multiplexers integrate with ROV sensors and equipment?

Modern MUX units are designed as plug‑and‑play interfaces that can handle multiple analogue and digital channels. They connect directly to cameras, sonar, CTDs and other sensors on the ROV, combining their output into a single fibre. At the surface, the multiplexer splits the signals back out to the appropriate control and monitoring systems. This integration simplifies tether management and helps ensure compatibility with a wide range of subsea instruments.

Can fibre‑optic multiplexers operate in deep‑water conditions?

Yes. The multiplexer systems offered by Unique Group are rated for deep‑water use (up to 3 000 m sea‑water for the Innova Matrix Mk II+). They are built with rugged housings and tested to withstand high pressures and harsh subsea environments, ensuring reliable performance during extended underwater missions.
