• ODI’s Wet-Mate Rolling Seal Hybrid Connector has been in service since 1995, accumulating over 114 Million in service hours.
• The Rolling-Seal Connector was the first reliable wet-mate connector capable of reliably mating multiple optical fiber in the subsea environment
• Since it’s first installation, the Rolling-Seal Connector has proven to be reliable in service with a failure rate of 57.0 FIT and a projected availability of 99.97%
• The connector has evolved through one major design upgrade and additional design improvements targeted at improving operations and reliability.
• ODI report D/N 139355 provides a detailed review of the reliability analysis of the Wet-Mate Hybrid Connectors
