There is no limit to the depth the umbilical can be deployed to, provided the umbilical can support its own out- board weight in the water. Depending on the outboard load, line speed and level of redundancy, power rating can typically range from (but isn’t limited to) an 18.5kW to 37kW hydraulic power unit, based on typical operational
