Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd single-core (simplex) fiber optic underwater connectors. Single SM or MM fiber channel, IP68, 7000m depth. For simplex subsea sensor links and fiber measurement systems.
Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd single-core fiber optic underwater connectors provide a single wet-mateable simplex fiber channel for subsea applications where only one optical path is required at the connection point. With a 7,000 m depth rating, IP68 sealing, and zirconia ceramic ferrule, these connectors deliver reliable optical performance in the most demanding underwater environments -- from shallow ROV operations to full-ocean-depth scientific instruments.
Available in single-mode (9/125 um, PC or APC polish) and multimode (50/125 or 62.5/125 um) fiber types. Can be paired with power contacts in a hybrid configuration on request.

PC (physical contact) polish is flat -- return loss greater than 45 dB. APC (angled physical contact) uses an 8-degree angled ferrule face -- return loss greater than 65 dB. APC is preferred for analog fiber links (cable TV, RF over fiber, coherent laser sensors) and dense WDM systems where back-reflection causes noise. For standard digital communications, PC polish is sufficient. Note: PC and APC ferrules are NOT cross-compatible -- both ends of a fiber link must use the same polish type.
Yes. We offer a 1F2P hybrid variant (1 fiber + 2 power contacts) for applications where the simplex fiber link and power supply must share one penetration. Contact sales@rovcable.com for a custom configuration quotation.
Precision zirconia ceramic ferrules in a spring-loaded alignment sleeve ensure core-to-core alignment to within 1 micron. The alignment sleeve is protected by a water-displacement seal -- when the connector is mated, the seawater film between the ferrule faces is displaced by the spring-loaded contact force before the ferrules fully seat.
