- Only 47kg with 300m of cable

The CM2's telemetry is so versatile that it can handle coaxial or twisted pair cables from 50m up to 6000m long. CM2 tow cables carry both power and signal on a single pair of conductors enabling both coaxial or twisted pair cables to be used with no user modifications required when switching cable types.
C-MAX can supply a range of winches and cables from 50m kevlar armoured coax suitable for shallow water surveys to 1000m of steel armoured twisted pair on an electric winch.
