JDR Cable Systems (JDR) can boast of more than 75 years of experience in the design and manufacture of custom cable and umbilical systems for the oil and gas, seismic exploration, defense, remote intervention and diving industries.

The company of today was formed about 10 years ago with the combination of two of the industry's most respected names, Jacques Cable Systems in the United Kingdom and De Regt Special Cable in the Netherlands.

JDR has a product range that includes hoses and cables for virtually every need. The company is unique in the industry, having the capability to design and manufacture at its Littleport (Cambridgeshire, England) and Capelle (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) facilities all the cables, hoses, terminations and ancillary items related to the umbilical fabrication process.

The Company's broad product range includes:

• Multi-function electro-hydraulic umbilicals


• Special electrical, optical and electro-mechanical cables.


• Mechanical, electrical and optical terminations for all products


• Handling systems

Our niche is the middle-sized umbilical, and we have the expertise, manufacturing experience and capability that smaller companies can't approach. JDR's position in the umbilical market means that customers get the level of attention during the design and manufacturing process that smaller companies cannot provide and the service and attention that larger ones often miss. Clients gain from the benefits of JDR's extensive project management and design capability on small projects as well as larger ones.
