Introduction
Introduction
General information and background about SubConn and the MacArtney Underwater Technology Group.
SubConn Circular series

The Circular series forms the basis of the technology that characterises most SubConn products available today. First introduced in
1978, these connectors are widely recognised as a dependable connectivity solution for underwater and harsh marine environment
applications. SubConn Circular connectors are available in various standard size configurations.
SubConn Micro Circular series

Based on the original SubConn Circular series, SubConn Micro connectors were developed to suit the increasingly more compact
design of underwater instruments, equipment and systems.
SubConn Low Profile series

The SubConn Low Profile series is designed to offer connectivity for underwater systems and equipment where space is restricted or
a more compact solution is required. By means of the low profile layout users are enabled to assemble design optimised, streamlined
and effective underwater systems, with sensors and other types of equipment producing less drag.
SubConn Micro Low Profile series

The SubConn Micro Low Profile series was developed to suit the increasingly more compact design of underwater instruments,
equipment and systems where space is restricted or a more compact solution is required.
SubConn Metal Shell series

The SubConn Metal Shell series represents an alternative to Circular series bulkhead connectors where an even more rugged,
resilient and protected underwater connectivity solution is required.
SubConn Power series

The SubConn Power series is designed to offer a high performance and dependable connector solution to accommodate the ever
growing power requirements of underwater system operators and industries.
SubConn Ethernet series

The SubConn Ethernet series marked the first highspeed underwater communications system to offer true Ethernet type
performance. The series is developed and manufactured to accommodate the demand for Gigabit data speed, signal and power for
increasingly capable and compact underwater systems.
SubConn Coax series

The SubConn Coax connector series is primarily used for facilitating the transmission of high definition (HD) video signal within and
between underwater systems and for interfacing HD video based equipment such as cameras and telemetry systems.
SubConn Specials
SubConn holds extensive experience and expertise in supplying special connector solutions for a broad range of specific client
applications ranging from swimming pool cleaning equipment, through oceanographic sensors to advanced naval systems.
SubConn Penetrator series

The SubConn Penetrator series is a fixed installation alternative to inline and bulkhead connectors. SubConn Penetrators are
primarily used for applications, where direct signal and power feedthrough is emphasised above the flexibility provided by a mateable
connector interface.
SubConn cables
As standard, the majority of SubConn connectors are supplied with chloroprene rubber cables, while the Ethernet and Coax series
feature polyurethane (PUR) cables as standard. All SubConn connectors can also be delivered with special polyurethane (PUR)
cables that are specifically designed, manufactured and tested for use with SubConn connectors.
SubConn additonal accessories

The SubConn connectors are available with a full range of accessories held in stock with MacArtney.

Introduction
About SubConn
Easily recognisable by their red locking sleeves and with a track record of almost 40 years at the service of maritime equipment
operators worldwide, SubConn underwater mateable and harsh environment connectors are regarded as an industry standard
connectivity solution within most marine markets.
SubConn connectors have always relied on a cost effective, simple and rugged contact design and at present, hundreds of
thousands of connectors are deployed throughout the world to interface and interconnect a countless range of marine and underwater
applications within offshore oil and gas, military, ocean science, geophysical and nuclear sectors. To meet the needs of our customers,
the SubConn range has seen ongoing development over its entire lifespan. This way, SubConn applications span from shallow
water use to prolonged deployment under harsh conditions, at some of the deepest ocean locations on earth.
SubConn connectors are manufactured in the USA at our modern production facilities located in Burwell, Nebraska. SubConn is
certified according to ISO 9001:2008.
Standard, special and custom connectors
We recognise the fact that connectors are a component product which, in many cases, functions as an integral part of larger scale
cable systems or instrumentation solutions. With this in mind, uncompromising quality, dependability, flexibility and local availability are
key factors having built the success of SubConn connectors. We pride ourselves on our wide range of standard connector solutions
which are regularly being extended to meet new individual or generic industry requirements and standards.
In addition to the standard product range of rubber moulded circular and low profile connectors, the SubConn concept has been
adapted to produce a number of special application and custom connectors. These range from the successful high power connectors
for subsea applications, field installable and oil filled harness connectors, geophysical telemetry connectors for transition zone
applications, glass sphere modified connectors, proximity switches and a complete range of compatible metal shell bulkhead, flange
mount connectors and penetrators. This way, product development and specialised engineering have played an important role in the
growth of our company and product range.
We hope that you will regard this catalogue as a useful tool for facilitating the selection of the right connector solution to suit your
requirements. In case you do not find a suitable solution within our standard range, please do not hesitate to contact us. Contact

SubConn Metal Shell series
The SubConn Metal Shell series represents an alternative to Circular series bulkhead connectors where an even more rugged,
resilient and protected underwater connectivity solution is required.
SubConn Metal Shell series connectors are manufactured from stainless steel and are available in three different shell sizes
compatible with industry standards. Flange mountable and bulkhead (male and female) connectors are available as standard
equipment and connector configuration ranges from 2 to 12 contacts rated at 300 to 600 V up to 5 to 10 A. SubConn Metal Shell
connectors are manufactured to mate with compatible standard inline and dummy connectors.
The connectors feature an integrated locking ring thread on the body and a special polyoxymethylene (POM) or stainless steel locking
sleeve is used on all connectors. SubConn Metal Shell connectors come with numbered teflon (PTFE) leads and feature a high
depth rating.

Ethernet series
SubConn Ethernet series
The SubConn Ethernet series marked the first high speed underwater communications system to offer true ethernet type
performance. The series is developed and manufactured to accommodate the demand for gigabit data speed, signal and power for
increasingly capable and compact underwater systems. The series includes different types of ethernet and combined power and
ethernet connector options in circular, metal shell and low profile configurations.
All SubConn Ethernet connectors are capable of Gigabit speed performance and feature a high depth rating. Utilising a reconfigured
version of the proven SubConn contact and socket design, SubConn Ethernet connectors are set to maximise data flow while
eliminating cross talk and noise. With power contacts rated for 600 V at 4 A, SubConn combined Power and Ethernet connectors
allow signal and power supply to be unified in one high performance solution.
SubConn Ethernet connectors are available with specially designed SubConn Ethernet or combined Power and Ethernet cables
capable of gigabit speed data transfer up to a distance of 75 metres. This flexible and water-resistant cable is manufactured from
polyurethane (PUR). SubConn Ethernet connectors come with colour-coded leads and are available with dummy connectors and
injection moulded polyoxymethylene (POM) or stainless steel locking sleeves.

SubConn Coax series
Coax series
The SubConn Coax series is primarily used for facilitating the transmission of high definition (HD) video signal within and between
underwater systems and for interfacing HD video based equipment such as cameras and telemetry systems. The SubConn Coax
connectors feature a high depth rating and fully harness the rugged quality and basic SubConn design that has been trusted by
marine industry operators for decades.
The SubConn Coax series embraces two primary connector models including a coax-only connector option and a combined
coax and electric connector option with six electric contacts for handling power and signal on interfaced equipment. The latter
option enables users to fully control and power equipment using only a single connector, hereby allowing for design optimisation of
underwater systems. Both connector types are available with an impedance of 50 or 75 ohms.
SubConn Coax connectors are dry mate only and cannot take open face pressure.
SubConn Coax connectors come with colour-coded leads and are often supplied with dummy connectors and injection moulded
polyoxymethylene (POM) or stainless steel locking sleeves (required). In addition, SubConn Coax connectors are available with
specially designed SubConn coax- or combined power and coax cable manufactured from flexible and water-resistant polyurethane
(PUR).

SubConn Penetrator series
The SubConn Penetrator series is a fixed installation alternative to inline and bulkhead connectors. SubConn Penetrators are
primarily used for applications placing emphasis on direct signal and power feedthrough above the flexibility provided by a mateable
connector interface.
SubConn Penetrators are manufactured from chloroprene rubber and based on industry standard bulkhead threads which can be
delivered in different materials. The series comprises five standard shell sizes in straight or right angle configurations. This allows for
an extensive combination of solutions.
SubConn Penetrator designs are not strictly limited to the standard versions and custom solutions can be delivered. For instance, it
is possible to combine power and signal within a single unit.

SubConn handling instructions

Follow these instructions carefully to ensure correct use of your SubConn connectors.
Handling
Always apply grease before mating
Disconnect by pulling straight, not at an angle
Do not pull on the cable and avoid sharp bends at cable entry
When using a bulkhead connector, ensure that there are no angular loads
Make sure to apply the recommended torque when tightening bulkhead nuts (see page 108)
SubConn connectors should not be exposed to extended periods of heat or direct sunlight
If a connector becomes very dry, it should be soaked in fresh water before use
Greasing and mating above water (dry mate)
Connectors must be greased with Molykote 44 Medium before every mating

A layer of grease corresponding to minimum 1/10 of socket depth should be applied to the female connector
The inner edge of all sockets should be completely covered, and a thin transparent layer of grease left visible on the face of
the connector
After greasing, fully mate the male and female connector in order to secure optimal distribution of grease on pins and in
sockets
To confirm that grease has been sufficiently applied, de-mate and check for grease on every male pin. Then re-mate the
connector
Greasing and mating under water (wet mate)
Connectors must be greased with Molykote 44 Medium before every mating

A layer of grease corresponding to approximately 1/3 of socket depth should be applied to the female connector
All sockets should be completely sealed, and a transparent layer of grease left visible on the face of the connector
After greasing, fully mate the male and female connector and remove any excess grease from the connector joint
Cleaning
General cleaning and removal of any accumulated sand or mud on a connector should be performed using spray based
contact cleaner (isopropyl alcohol)
New grease must be applied again prior to mating
Use of Loctite
Always use Loctite 5910 to lock non-metallic (PEEK) connectors
For locking metallic connectors, the use of Loctite 243 is recommended

Information on debonding and corrosion

The reason for the debonding of metal connectors with chloroprene rubber or polyurethane heads installed in a cathodically
protected system is the natural development of hydroxide. Hydroxide is generated on the cathode when the polarity tension exceeds
400 mV (Cu/CuSo4) and the aqueous environment is of an alkaline character.
The electro-chemical process of hydroxide
O2 + 2H2O + 4e > 4OHHydroxide causes a local increase in the pH value and paint/primer is generally broken down in highly alkaline environments. When
an electrical connection has been made between the cathode and the anode, the usual electrochemical cathodic process begins;
the generation of hydroxide - this is where the debonding begins.
The natural electrochemical sub-process of water disassociation when in contact with cathodic protection creates gas bubbles of
hydroxide or hydrogen. At this stage it is almost impossible to detect the debonding of the polymer tongue from the metal surface.
The cathodic sub-process will now be established under the surface of polymers and a total debonding is impending.
The velocity of the de-bonding depends on the following conditions
Blend potential (> -400 mV will induce the generation of hydroxide)
Primer dielectric properties
Medium alkalinity (a high level of alkalinity increases the number of reactive products)
Medium temperature (a high temperature means a speedy reaction time and will often be able to neutralise a lower level of
oxygen)
Current intensity (a high current intensity increases the quantity of developed hydroxide)
In relation to the phenomenon of debonding, there is a considerable difference between a corrosion-resistant steel alloy and a brass
alloy. Corrosion-resistant alloys such as stainless steel AISI 304 - 18/8, AISI 316 - 18/12/2.5, AISI 310 - 24/20, smo254 achieve their
rust resistance by means of an alloy characteristic film. This oxide alloy, which is only a few ngstrm thick, is formed naturally when
the metal surface comes into contact with oxygen or products rich in oxygen. Brass, which consists of copper (primary constituent)
and zinc, is naturally resistant to seawater. The oxide film of the copper is somewhat thicker and bears a faint resemblance to
ordinary copper oxide (CuOH) in its structure and size. The copper oxide is green and familiar to most.
If rust-resistant alloys are applied as a connecting material, the aforementioned oxide film must be removed before applying the
primer. In those areas where the natural oxide film encounters a primed/treated surface, it may cause issues of interference.
Specifically, the corrosion-resistant material will attempt to form its natural oxide film under the primer. In this way, the oxide film can
lift off the primer, which is the same condition that can be observed in ordinary corrosion of iron constructions. When the electrolyte
comes into contact with the rust-resistant surface as described above, the rust-resistant alloy will start to form its natural oxide
film assuming that the oxide or oxidant elements are available. The result will be a quick debonding caused by the natural oxide
formation of the rust-resistant exposed surface.
The application of a more seawater resistant material than (for example) stainless steel AISI 316 will result in a more stable oxide
formation.
Cathodic protection and galvanic conditions will advance and stabilise the formation of the protecting oxide film. This relation is not
observed on brass connectors. Brass is (naturally) sufficiently electronegative to seawater, and so does not form an oxide film as
with the rust-resistant alloys. Thus, brass alloys do not have the same secondary reaction pattern that characterises the
corrosion-proof alloys. Consequently, oxidation of brass does not advance the debonding process.
