Abstract: A connector assembly that can include a first tubular member that defines a plurality of apertures through a sidewall thereof, a second tubular member that defines one or more grooves on an outer surface thereof and a plurality of apertures through a sidewall thereof, a plurality of first bolts, a plurality of second bolts, a release ring, and a plurality of release keys. The second member can be disposed within a bore defined by the first member at a first position and a second position relative to the first member. When the first bolts are in a first locked position and the second member is at the first position, a first end of each first bolt can be disposed within a corresponding one of the one or more grooves, and when the second member is in the second position, the second bolts can be in the unlatched position.

Abstract: The flying lead deployment apparatus with one reel assembly is made of a frame assembly; a reel assembly with flying lead disposed in the frame assembly adapted to rotate to distribute the flying lead; a first ROV-flying lead interface connected to the frame assembly and one end of the flying lead; a second ROV-flying lead interface connected to the reel assembly and the other end of the flying end; a drive assembly connected to the reel assembly with a counting gear adapted to count the number of times the reel assembly rotates, an adjustable rack gear, and a locking mechanism connected to the adjustable rack gear and the reel assembly adapted to stop the reel assembly when the counting gear reaches a predetermined number; and a friction brake connected to the frame assembly and reel assembly adapted to apply friction to maintain constant tension on the flying lead.
