2 Fiber 2 Power Photoelectric Underwater Connector -- Hybrid Fiber Optic Power | IP68 | 7000m | ROV AUV

Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd 2-fiber + 2-power hybrid photoelectric underwater connector. Duplex fiber (SM or MM) plus 2 power contacts. IP68, 7000m depth. For ROV camera, modem, and AUV fiber links.

Product introduction

2-Fiber + 2-Power Photoelectric Underwater Connector (2F2P)

The 2F2P configuration from Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd is the most common hybrid photoelectric connector -- two duplex fiber channels (TX + RX) plus two power contacts in one wet-mateable body. It is the standard connector for any subsea system that needs a full-duplex fiber communications link alongside a DC power supply through a single pressure housing penetration. Rated to 7,000 m depth, IP68 sealed.

Typical 2F2P Wiring

  • Fiber 1: TX (transmit) -- laser or LED source
  • Fiber 2: RX (receive) -- photodetector input
  • Power 1: +24 V or +48 V DC supply
  • Power 2: 0 V / DC return

Applications

  • ROV fiber-optic video camera systems (fiber video + camera power in one connector)
  • Subsea acoustic modems with fiber uplink and power supply
  • AUV fiber-optic tether termination connectors (full-duplex data + power)
  • Subsea Ethernet media converters (fiber to copper) power and fiber interface
  • Oceanographic CTD sensors with fiber output and instrument power
  • Subsea DVL (Doppler Velocity Log) fiber link and power connector

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 2F2P connector support 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes. With multimode 50/125 um OM3 fiber, the connector supports 1000BASE-SX at typical ROV tether lengths (up to 300 m). For longer distances, specify single-mode fiber and 1000BASE-LX transceivers.

Can I specify APC polish for the single-mode version?

Yes. APC (8-degree angled) polish is available for single-mode fiber ferrules, achieving return loss greater than 60 dB. Specify SM-APC when ordering. APC and PC versions are not cross-compatible -- ensure both ends of the link use the same polish type.

Is a bulkhead (panel mount) version available for the 2F2P?

Yes. The 2F2P is available in both bulkhead (panel mount, with flange) and in-line (cable assembly) configurations. The bulkhead version mounts to a standard panel cutout; specify the panel thickness when ordering for correct O-ring groove placement.
