ROV & AUV Systems – Application Case

Overview

ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) and AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) are the core equipment for deep‑sea exploration, offshore engineering, ocean observation and subsea inspection. Our underwater connectors provide stable, high‑reliability electrical and optical connection for power transmission, control signals, sensor data and high‑speed Ethernet communication in full‑depth subsea environments.


Key Applications on ROV/AUV

Main power supply from tether to vehicle
Control signal transmission for thrusters, manipulators and sensors
Gigabit Ethernet communication (13 PIN Ethernet Series) for cameras and high‑speed data
Internal sensor connection: CTD, sonar, depth gauge, altimeter
Tool skid, underwater lights, cameras and sampling equipment interface

Tether management and junction box connection


Suitable Connector Series

13 PIN Ethernet Series: Gigabit Ethernet + power hybrid
Power Series: High‑current main power supply
Low Profile Series: Compact, space‑saving for vehicle body
Metal Shell Series: High strength, pressure and corrosion resistance
Micro Circular Series: Miniature size for internal sensors

Split Series: High‑density, ROV‑operable wet‑pluggable modules


Performance Requirements Satisfied

Depth rating up to 6000m–7000m
IP68 waterproof, permanent submersible
Vibration, shock and drag resistance
Gold‑plated contacts for stable signal
seawater corrosion resistance (316L stainless steel / titanium)

Long service life and frequent mating
