Product Benefits:
-DNV Certified.
-12 kV Connector wih Optical and/or LV configurations.
-Weak Link Design, allows the connector to separate when subject to 80% of cable breaking strain, ensuring integrity of cable.
-Protective Moulding/Fairing, gives the connector a Stream Line design, allowing easy of deployment.
-Termination of connectors on land allow for quick connection and deployment at sea.
-Loop-back shorted dummy connector allows cable and connector integrity test from shore.
Hydro Bond Eng. is also developing 22 kV and 33 kV capacity.
Working to IEC – TC 114 / IEC – 60502 & API – 17E (Guideline), Hydro Group also design and manufacture custom designed: -bend stiffeners, -Splice boxes, -Sub-sea cable.
