TCF-40
Heavy Duty Towed Cable Fairing, M-Track Closure, To 10 Knots
The TCF-40 Towed Cable Fairing is designed to significantly reduce the vibration, acoustic noise and drag created by water movement across a towed fish cable. The single-row fin design improves the hydrodynamic flow characteristics across the cable, reducing vibration and "strumming" because each independent, flexible fin is free to assume the most favorable flow orientation. In addition, where multiple cables are used the fairing bundles all into a single streamlined package for easier handling and even greater drag reduction. The TCF-40 features a heavy duty 40-mil wall jacket and a heavy duty M-Track closure system and is intended for use under heavy sea conditions and/or tow speeds up to 10 knots. The material offers outstanding wear resistance, high tear strength, moderate flexibility, oils and hydrocarbon resistance in addition to being impervious to salt water. The fairing lengths and flexibility allows for an easy installation and is the answer to heavy duty, severe condition towed cable problems. Refer to Zippertubing’s installation document ZT07-98-002.
