Water impermeable, easy-disconnect electrical cable connector for deep sea applications

Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) has developed a connector which reliably transfers power and data to submersibles while under water. Rather than making incremental improvements to the electromechanical design of existing direct contact connectors, DTI has developed a non-contact connector which transmits power and data by inductive and capacitive coupling. The key innovation of this breakthrough is the ability to transfer power and data at high levels (10s of kWs and 10s of Gbps) over the same connector.
