DL1100 Compact Composite Connection System With 8-Channel, Wet-Mate, Manual-Mate, Electro or Optical Connector

A compact connector mating system that can enable the coupling and decoupling of optical or electrical communications channels while submerged in harsh, subsea conditions. The contacting interfaces remain fully protected from the harsh, subsea environment by means of dielectric fluid-filled chambers. The chambers include optical or electrical connections to transmit high speed communications through a mated connector set. The patented end seal provides complete isolation of the dielectric fluid from seawater. The unique design of the DL1100 connector series includes a simplified end seal design which minimizes actuation stress. In addition, the simplified design allows for high volume production with significant reduction in necessary components when compared with the competitor’s product.
