Low Profile 8-Contact Subsea Underwater Connector

The Low Profile 8-Contact subsea connector from Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd delivers 8 independent contacts in a compact shallow-body form factor. IP68 rated and suitable for Ethernet (8-core T568B), power distribution, or mixed signal applications, it is ideal where a standard 8-contact circular connector is too large for the available panel space on ROV and AUV systems.

Key Specifications

Applications

• Compact Gigabit Ethernet subsea links
• ROV 8-circuit signal and power distribution
• AUV sensor arrays
• Low-profile subsea junction box ports

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this connector carry Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes -- wired per T568B, the 8 contacts support 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet at full bandwidth. A shield drain can be added via the housing ground or a 9th contact by upgrading to the LP-9 variant.

Is a right-angle version available?

Yes -- a 90-degree right-angle elbow version with 8 contacts is available. Specify right-angle when ordering.

What is the depth rating?

Standard is 300 m. Custom depth ratings up to 3000 m are available with hydrostatic testing on request.
