Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. offers a comprehensive range of subsea connector solutions combining Ethernet data transmission and 600V rated power contacts in single, wet-mateable underwater connectors. These hybrid connectors are engineered for ROV systems, subsea vehicles and underwater equipment that require both reliable power delivery and high-speed data communication.
By integrating power and Ethernet in a single connector, our solutions reduce the number of underwater mating operations required, simplify cable management, reduce weight and improve overall system reliability. Whether you need a standard configuration or a fully customised design, we have the engineering capability to deliver.

Our Ethernet subsea connectors are designed to maintain signal integrity for high-speed data transmission underwater. Key performance characteristics include: impedance matching for 100 ohm differential pairs, return loss better than -15dB, insertion loss less than 0.5dB, and NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk) better than 40dB at 100MHz. These specifications ensure reliable Gigabit Ethernet operation in the underwater environment.
Ethernet connectors contain more contacts than standard power connectors, making correct alignment during mating critical. Inspect connector faces for bent or damaged pins before mating. Ensure all O-rings are properly seated and lubricated. After each deployment, rinse connectors with fresh water, dry thoroughly and install protective caps for storage.
When ordering Ethernet and 600V subsea connectors, please specify: number of power contacts, number of Ethernet channels, cable length (for assemblies), shell material preference, and depth rating. Contact our sales team for technical consultation and quotation.
Selecting the appropriate Ethernet cable for your subsea connector is critical for achieving the required data transmission performance. For Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), we recommend Cat5e or Cat6 cables with solid conductors and良好的信噪比特性。For 10/100 Mbps applications, standard Cat5 cable is sufficient. Cable length affects signal quality — for runs exceeding 100 metres, consider using fibre optic Ethernet extenders or signal repeaters. Our engineering team can advise on the optimal cable type for your specific application and distance requirements.
When integrating Ethernet and 600V connectors into your subsea system, consider the following: provide adequate strain relief for both power and Ethernet cables at the connector interface, separate power and data cables where possible to minimise electromagnetic interference, use shielded Ethernet cables in high-EMI environments, and include a grounding path for cable shields. Our technical team can provide detailed integration guidance for your specific system architecture.
Ethernet and 600V subsea connectors require periodic inspection and maintenance to ensure continued reliable operation. Recommended maintenance includes: visual inspection of contacts and sealing surfaces before each deployment, O-ring replacement annually or after 100 mating cycles, electrical testing (continuity, insulation resistance) before critical deployments, and cleaning of contacts with isopropyl alcohol if contamination is observed. Field-repairable versions are available for applications requiring on-site connector replacement.
