  • Patent number: 10030463
    Abstract: An apparatus for use subsea includes a container having at least one aperture; a lid securable to the container to cover the at least one aperture, suitable to isolate the inside of the container from the outside of the container when fluid pressure outside the container is at least 5000 kPa. The lid has one or more electrical connections providing electrical communication from a first side of the lid to a second side of the lid. The apparatus further includes one or more wires for providing electrical communication between one or more electrical components in the container and the one or more electrical connections in the lid.

  • Publication number: 20160097906
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for use subsea including a container having an aperture, a lid (12) securable to the container to cover the aperture, a printed circuit board, at least one fibre-optic (18) connecting the printed circuit board to the lid (12) and a substantially rigid support (14) locatable in the container. The lid (12) is suitable to isolate the inside of the container from the outside of the container when fluid pressure outside the container is at least 1000 kPa. The support (14) has at least one upstanding member around which one or more fibre-optics (18) are locatable such that the smallest radius of a bend in the fibre-optic(s) (18) is greater than the minimum bend radius thereof.
