Aspects of the disclosure relate to a pulling device for pulling wire, cable, and/or duct products through an opening (e.g., bore, conduit, duct, etc.). The pulling device includes a gripping sleeve having a first end and a second end, the first end of the gripping sleeve configured to receive the product. The second end of the gripping sleeve is coupled with an eye, the eye configured to guide the pulling device through the opening. The pulling device further includes a cord configured to remove a protective material that can at least partially enclose the gripping sleeve and/or the product. The cord can be coupled to at least one of the gripping sleeve or the eye, and extend distally beyond the first end of the gripping sleeve.

Disclosed herein is a transport system, comprising an electrified static cable system, a carriage supported by a non-electrified static cable, an electrical drive system incorporated into the carriage—wherein the electrical drive system is utilized to move the carriage along the pair of parallel non-electrified cables, a transconnector configured to supply electrical power to the carriage, and a cabin mounted to the carriage. Corresponding methods of making and using the system also are disclosed.

Corresponding methods of making and using the system also are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a mooring rope for use in subsea mooring, or a substantially synthetic rope thereof, said synthetic rope including a rope core and a layered shell arranged around the rope core, said the shell having a braided outer shell layer. The shell includes sub-surface buoyancy elements, suitable for use in a subsea environment, extending in radial direction between the rope core and the outer shell.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a cable jacket having an interior surface and an exterior surface. The interior surface defines a central bore extending along a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable, and the exterior surface defines an outermost surface of the optical fiber cable. At least one subunit is disposed within the central bore. Each of the at least one subunit includes at least one optical fiber disposed within a buffer tube. A plurality of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tensile yarns are positioned around the at least one subunit and extend along the longitudinal axis. A layer of a bedding compound is disposed between the plurality of UHMWPE tensile yarns and the cable jacket.
