Submarine Cables and Connectors
Problem Statement: Outboard cables and connectors used in critical applications face significant reliability issues due to cathodic disbondment, leading to water ingress and equipment damage. While Non-Conductive Coatings (NCC) have extended cable life, many assemblies still lack this protection. Proprietary and single-source components, such as PCOF connectors and MIL-spec cable components, limit supplier options, cause production delays, and compromise supply chain resilience. Outdated inspection and manufacturing standards further hinder lifecycle management and operational readiness.
