What Is an Underwater Connector?
Underwater connectors are components that transmit signals or power in underwater environments.
They are used in submarines, underwater robots, sensors, and seabed cables, featuring waterproof coatings on metal contacts or terminals to protect against water, salt, and pressure changes. Durability and ease of maintenance are critical for their long-term operation underwater.
There are various types, including pressure-resistant connectors for deep-sea exploration, offering high resistance to corrosion, and fiber optic connectors for use in bays and offshore facilities.
