French term

multiples dérivations

French to English Tech/Engineering laying of underwater cables
Laying of underwater cables – cable-laying ships – maintenance vessels.

“multiples derivations” in the extract below.

“ Une flotte de navires câbliers intervient sur toutes les mers pour poser de nouveaux réseaux et assurer la maintenance des liaisons… D’autres navires sont plus spécialement dédiés à la maintenance. Leurs équipements leur permettent d'effectuer des réparations sur des systèmes à multiples dérivations sans interrompre l'exploitation. Ils sont secondés dans ces tâches par des ROV., robots téléopérés, capables de travailler en grande profondeur. »

The more reference sources provided, the better.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you. A choice between multi-branch and multiple branch. Shame I can’t split the points! I had “single branch” from the GDT (derivation simple), but had found no original language trace of “multi-branch” for underwater/subsea cables! Steven’s answer is no doubt the source for this part of the text I’m working on for a museum. Whilst the English version looks reliable enough, I have a penchant for original language sources. Thanks again both of you! "
