Electro-optical (EO) cable terminations provide the advantage of combining a variety of sophisticated capabilities into a single subsea connection. These custom cable assemblies must simultaneously pass power and data and withstand extreme environmental and performance requirements, while preserving the integrity of delicate optical fibers. Among the most challenging EO assemblies are those that also require mechanical termination for a tow cable to a towed body, i.e., electro-optomechanical (EOM) terminations. These applications demand a termination strong enough to bear all towing and handling loads and still be able to perform reliably over time in the extremes of the marine environment.
