Shallow water cable assembly

Shallow water cables are available in two versions - normal (terminated with connectors at both ends) and pigtail (connector on one end only) - and can be supplied in various lengths.

Normal

Cable assembly overview

For shallow water normal cables with connectors at both ends, the assembly consists of three parts:

  • Connector A: SubConn straight plug, 8-pin. Female (MCIL8F) or male (MCIL8M). Connects to the MRU.

  • Connector B: SubConn straight plug, 8-pin. Female (MCIL8F) or male (MCIL8M). Connects to the system output.

  • Cable (C): 4 × twisted pairs, length = 2-50m. For more information about the cable, see here .

Cable assembly overview

For shallow water pigtail cables with connectors on one end only, the assembly consists of two parts:

  • Connector A: SubConn straight plug, 8-pin. Female (MCIL8F) or male (MCIL8M). Connects to the MRU.

  • Cable (C): For more information about the cable, see here .

Connector compatibility

Both connector A and connector B can be either male or female, and they share the same internal pinout arrangement. Hence, they are mutually compatible. This applies to both normal and pigtail cable assemblies.
