The intuitive, shallow water, high specification side scan sonar range now includes the higher resolution StarFish 452F and StarFish 990F; pro- New Wet-Mate Globe-Con Sea Con Global Production announced the release of a new wet- mate version of its Globe-Con connector series. This new connector has most of the original features of the dry-mate Globe-Con but incorporates wet-mate capability. Originally developed for a major offshore project, the Globe-Con series is a rugged, small diameter connector. The Bulkhead Connector Receptacle (BCR) has a 316 Stainless Steel shell with a Neoprene faced GRE (Glass Reinforced Epoxy) insert. The Cable Connector Plug (CCP) is a Neoprene faced GRE connector that is molded onto rubber jacketed cable as standard but can be molded to many custom cables also. This innovative connector design incorporates a spring ring device to secure the locking sleeve once mated thus improving reliability in high vibration environments. Other key features include: Positive keying system for easy con- nection; Standard SAE/MS tube boss seal configuration; and, Pressure rated to 10,000 psi mated and open face. This new addition is an alternative to the standard dry-mate Globe-Con where many repeated make and breaks are required in wet conditions.The wet-mate Globe-Con is suitable for many applications including ROV's, Underwater Cameras, Sensors, Signal Transmissions and Control Systems. www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 43
