Subsea optical connectors have enabled underwater industries to build modular components for subsea use. In particular, wet-mate technologies have allowed systems to be assembled on the seafloor, allowing the user to take full advantage of underwater optical communication systems. Optical cable designs for underwater use are major components of these systems. These are available in many differing formats to suit particular and specific requirements and applications. The differences of under-water optical cable construction are presented here along with an analysis of the inherent problems associated with terminating optical fibers for sub-sea use and a presentation of a range of solutions for fiber optic terminations in underwater connectors.
