Teledyne Oil & Gas has created an integrated solution and a new class of product: The Active Flying Lead (AFL). Working with our customers, we identify challenges they face in subsea communications and elsewhere. With diverse technologies, we have bundled expertise from different Teledyne business units, and can offer a qualified product or create a project-specific solution to help simplify subsea architecture, reducing cost, complexity, and risk.

Teledyne Oil & Gas has qualified highly reliable atmospheric housings to be integrated with Flying leads and contain specialized electronics. first system was qualified for Ethernet repeaters followed by Media converters, but both can be used as a foundation to integrate other electronics into a flying lead.
