High pressure open sided subsea wire rope cutter for up to 1.5” steel wire rope.
The RCO40 is a high pressure, heavy duty wire rope cutter designed for subsea deployment in severe working conditions. The open sided design allows for easy positioning on the wire by ROV while the blade shaped anvil increases the grade of rope that can be cut.
