A method of dry-mating a first connector part and a second connector part wherein the first and second connector parts are brought into a first mated state, wherein a seal is engaged between the first and second connector parts. A sealed inner space is formed between the first and second connector parts. The sealed inner space is evacuated through an evacuating port. The evacuation port is arranged such that it is located on an inner sealed side of the engaged seal in the first mated state. Further, the first connector part and the second connector part are brought into a second mated state, wherein a seal is engaged between the first connector part and the second connector part such that the evacuation port is located on an outer side of the engaged seal so that it is no longer in flow communication with the sealed inner space.

A subsea data transmission cable for providing data communication with a subsea device installed at the ocean floor is provided. The subsea data transmission cable includes a first section including at least one electrical data line and a second section including at least one fiber optic data line. An intermediate conversion assembly is provided. The at least one electrical data line and the at least one fiber optic data line are terminated at the intermediate conversion assembly. A conversion device is disposed in a chamber of the intermediate conversion assembly. The conversion device includes an electrical interface connected to the at least one electrical data line and an optical interface connected to the at least one fiber optic data line. The conversion device is configured to convert an electrical data signal received at the electrical interface to an optical data signal for transmission via the optical interface and vice versa.

The present invention generally relates to an inline pressure compensator that compensates for volumetric changes within Field-Assembled Cable Termination (FACT) structures when exposed to high pressures and extreme subsea depths by transferring a pressure compensating fluid into the internal cavity of the FACT. The present invention may comprise a flexible internal component and an outer shell-like component. The inner component may comprise two concentric rings of edge-welded bellows that are joined together and wrapped around inner components of the termination or of the inner portion of the outer component. The inner void in the bellows may be filled with pressure-compensating fluid. The pressure compensating fluid diffuses directly into the fluid-filled cavity of the termination assembly. The exterior component may comprise a housing adapted to protect the interior bellows component and provide for seawater to fill the space around the periphery of the bellows arrangement.

An assembly for splicing and repairing an umbilical is provided having two terminal bend restrictors and two strain terminators, here each terminal bend restrictor has at least two interconnected modules, a connecting end, and a free end. The strain terminators have a strain receiving end and a strain providing end, with each of the strain receiving ends is connected to one of the connecting ends of the terminal bend restrictors. The assembly further has an intermediate bend restrictor having at least two interconnected modules and two connecting ends. The two strain terminators are connected at their strain providing ends to separate connecting ends of the intermediate bend restrictor, and the intermediate bend restrictor is dimensioned to withstand tensile strain from the connected strain terminators.

There is provided subsea repair apparatus for performing repair of a subsea cable located beneath the sea, said apparatus comprising: an environment capsule capable of providing a substantially water-free environment within the capsule; and repair equipment located within the environment capsule arranged to repair said subsea cable without the need for a person to be located within the environment capsule.
摘要:
A joint arrangement for a submarine cable, in which armoured submarine cables are joined together, the joint arrangement including a tubular enclosure into which two submarine cables to be joined are to extend and inside which conductors of the two submarine cables are joined, wherein the enclosure includes a current-carrying part arranged so as to be able of conducting at least a part of a current conducted by the armouring of the cables, and a reinforcement part provided to provide sufficient mechanical strength to the enclosure and made of a material of lower electrical conductivity than the material of the current-carrying part. The current-carrying part is integrated in the reinforcement part and forms a single unit therewith.

A multiple conductor optical cable may be coupled to an undersea device, such as a cable joint, branching unit, or repeater, with one or more isolated bypass conductive paths being provided across the undersea device. At least one conductor may be terminated within a housing of the undersea device and at least one conductor may be coupled to a conductive bridge member that provides the isolated bypass conductive path across the device. Multiple conductor optical cables may be coupled to undersea devices in optical networks using independent power paths, for example, to deliver power to different powered components at different voltage potentials.
