 77,00 –  111,00 excl. VAT

Polyurethane-jacketed cable with Cobalt Series connector with male pins for making an inline connection to a standard Cobalt Series cable (sold separately).  Includes coupler and locking sleeve.  Rated to 600 m depth.  3-pin, 3-pin Power, 4-pin, 6-pin, 6-pin Hybrid, 6-pin USB, and 8-pin versions available, with standard 1-meter length or custom lengths from 0.1 to 2.0 meters.

 

How to specify length:

 

  • Cables shorter than 1 meter – No extra charge.  Choose the “1m or less” option and specify the length in the “Custom length” field. We will shorten the cable for you free of charge.
  • 1-meter cables – Our standard cable length is 1 meter.  Choose the “1m or less” option and leave the “Custom length” field blank.
  • Cables longer than 1 meter – Cable lengths greater than 1 meter cost $20 extra.  Choose the “Custom: >1m up to 2.0m” option and specify the length in the “Custom length” field.

Description

Cobalt Series dry-mate underwater connectors and cables from Blue Trail Engineering set a new standard for small waterproof connectors.  Cobalt connectors offer the same reliability as larger subsea connectors, but at a fraction of the cost.  With 316 stainless steel shells and PEEK inserts, they withstand long-term use in seawater at depths up to 600 meters.  In spite of their compact size, Cobalt connectors can handle high currents.  Connector shells are keyed and feature a scoop-proof design, allowing them to be mated blind with no possibility of pin damage.

 

Cobalt connectors achieve a hermetic seal without the need for potting or overmolding, making them more affordable than traditional molded connectors.  The electrical contacts are pressed into a machined PEEK insert, which is in turn pressed into the stainless steel connector shell.

 

In addition to reducing cost, the unique design of Cobalt connectors increases their reliability.  Without a bonded rubber overmold, there is no danger of leakage due to cathodic delamination.  A simple, proven O-ring seal between the male and female connectors makes Cobalt connectors both easier to use and more reliable than wet-mate connectors.

 

Perfect for space-limited applications, Cobalt connectors take up a fraction of the volume of the industry-standard Micro-Circular connectors.

 

Stock connectors and cables typically ship in 2-3 days.  Custom items or large orders ship in 1-2 weeks.

 

Cobalt cables are available in 3-pin, 3-pin Power, 4-pin, 6-pin, 6-pin Hybrid, 6-pin USB, and 8-pin versions.  Cables are supplied with a standard cable length of 1 meter or custom lengths up to 2 meters.

 

This is a Cobalt cable with MALE PINS for making an inline connection to a standard Cobalt Series cable (sold separately).
