Standard Circular
The standard circular SubConn® connector is the original underwater mateable connector and is still the most popular connector type today. The range is still the preferred choice for underwater applications, and has a well-deserved reputation for being cost efficient and rugged solution for underwater and harsh environments.

brass bulkhead bodies and is available in 4 shell sizes with up to 16
