Housing | Environment | Driving | Pressure | Depth rating | Weight in air & water | Connector model |
Aluminum alloy | Freshwater | External | Shell | 0–300m | 2.1kg&1.6kg | 300VDC(Micro 8–core) |
Titanium alloy | Seawater | External | Shell | 0–300m | 2.5kg&2.0kg | 300VDC(Micro 8–core) |
Aluminum alloy | Freshwater | External | Oil filled seal | 0–3000m | 2.4kg&1.9kg | 300VDC(Standard–oil 8–core) |
Titanium alloy | Freshwater | External | Oil filled seal | 0–3000m | 2.7kg&2.1kg | 300VDC(Standard–oil 8–core) |
Note: The weight change of the oil filling compensation product is affected by the length of the oil pipe. For every 0.1 meter increase in the oil pipe, there is a weight gain of 45g in the air and 16g in the water. | ||||||
