To specify the correct underwater connector, provide the following parameters:
- Depth rating: What is the maximum working depth in meters?
- Contact count: How many conductors do you need to pass through the connector?
- Signal type: Power (specify voltage and current per contact), signal (analog/digital), video (coaxial, Ethernet, or fiber optic), or a combination?
- Mating environment: Wet-mate (underwater connection) or dry-mate (topside only)?
- Cable OD: What is the cable outer diameter at the connector entry?
- Cable jacket material: Polyurethane, neoprene, XLPE, armored?
- Temperature range: What are the minimum and maximum operating temperatures?
- Industry standard: Must it intermate with SubConn, SeaCon, or Burton/Eaton connectors?
- Shell material preference: 316L SS (standard), titanium, PEEK?
- Quantity: How many connectors (pairs) are required?
