  • Patent number: 10985544
    Abstract: A subsea connector (20) is provided for joining a first cable (2) having a first minimum bending radius (MBR) and a second cable (3) having a second minimum bending radius (MBR). The subsea connector is arranged with a first joint device (21, 53) for connection with the first cable and a second joint device (22, 54) for connection with the second cable (3). The subsea connector comprises a conductive member (25, 57) for transfer of electric power between the first and the second cable (2,3), the conductive member having, in an installed position, a U-shape configuration and the radius of curvature of the subsea connector is less than or equal to the first and second minimum bending radii such that at least a portion of the first cable (2) extending from connection with the first joining device (21,53) is arranged essentially parallel with at least a portion of the second cable (3) extending from connection with the second joint device (22,54).
