Frequently asked questions

How watertight is SHX15?

Mated SHX15 connectors withstand 0.5 MPa hydrostatic pressure. For deep-water use, see our 7000 m rated SHX33/34/35 rubber-molded connectors.

How do I seal the cable end?

Use the SHX15LFJJP mechanical backshell (packing-gland clamp with 360° shielding) or the SHX15QG potted backshell, and sealing caps for unmated connectors.
