Ovun Cast Iron Ballast is designed to add weight to  subsea cables as well as protect from abrasion and damage due to impact from dropped objects, rock dumping etc.

The ballast system stabilizes a cable laying on the seabed, while  also working s as a bending restrictor.

Cast Iron cable protection systems can be supplied with a start clamp which is first installed onto the cable to prevent the length of cable protection from slipping off the cable during installation and service
