7.5.1. CA-AEK-SUB-DPT500-10M
10 meters wire ended sub sea cable depth rated for 500 meters.
7.5.1.1. Cable Construction
This high quality subsea cable is wire ended on one side and has a Seacon MINIM-37#22-CCP-Ti connector
over-moulded on the other side. The 37 ways Seacon connector is made of Titanium perfectly compatible
with the Ekinox housing to ensure minimal degradation during long time immersions in salt water.
The cable is composed of two AWG-22 thinned copper conductors for the power supply and four cable triads
for communication signals. Each triad includes four shielded AWG-26 thinned copper twisted pairs.
The following diagrams show the cable overview and internal section for better understanding:
