Zusammenfassung:A Dry-Mate Connector System (DMCS) is capable of a direct and convenient connection/disconnection of standardized Commercial Off-The Shelf (COTS)-compatible data communication cables and connectors with submersible electronic equipment for transmission of data/signals/power therebetween, and is suitable for indefinite submersion, as well as adaptable to full ocean depth. DMCS is equipped with sealing elements, a keying/alignment mechanism for proper alignment of COTS connectors for mating the portions, a locking mechanism to ensure the portions remain locked and pressure sealed, and a dummy plug for sealing the connector when not in use. Functional dummy plugs are contemplated to broaden the functionality.
