12-Core Fibre + 2 Power Underwater Connector — Overview

The 12-Core Fibre + 2 Power Underwater Connector from the SubConn Compatible Photoelectric Series is a available as CCP cable-mount plug or BCR bulkhead receptacle, delivering reliable fibre optic connection in a minimum-sized stainless steel body rated to 4,000–6,000 m. Low insertion loss and low back reflection make it ideal for high-speed data and video transmission on ROVs, ROTVs, UUVs and subsea multiplexers.

Key Design Features

  • Minimum-size fibre connection: reliable fibre optic termination in the smallest connector body of its class, designed for subsea equipment manufacturers.
  • Low optical loss: insertion loss ≤ 2 dB with low back reflection — suited to high-speed data and HD video transmission.
  • Deep-water stainless build: rugged stainless steel shell with NBR O-ring sealing; standard depth rating 4,000–6,000 m.
  • Single-mode or multi-mode: both fibre types can be customized, with 2.5 SC / 1.25 LC ceramic ferrule terminations.
  • Fibre + power in one interface: 2 power contacts rated 300 V / 16–18 A per core eliminate a separate power connector and penetration.
  • Field-proven durability: ≥ 500 mating cycles, 50–500 kg cable breaking strength, dust-proof anodised lock cap.

Notes for Selection

Standard depth rating 4,000–6,000 m across the series (4-core versions 8,000 m per model listing); water pressure grade 1–40 MPa with certified pressure testing to specific ocean depths available on request. Single-mode or multi-mode fibre, custom fibre/power combinations (1 fibre • 2 fibre • 2 fibre + 2 power • 2 fibre + 5 power • 4 fibre • 4 fibre + 4 power • 12 fibre + 2 power — custom combinations on request) can be specified to order. Fibre terminations should be kept clean and capped with the dust-proof lock cap when unmated.

Custom configurations available Single-mode or multi-mode fibre, custom fibre/power combinations (1 fibre to 12 fibre, with 2–5 power contacts), custom cable lengths and breaking strengths, and certified pressure testing to specific ocean depths can be specified to order.
