News:

GISMA develops a 10/12kV wet mateable connector
GISMA has started the development of a high voltage wet mateable connector for renewable marine energy sources. The new connector will reduce the cost of tidal and energy arrays by cutting the cable costs to shore and simplifying device installation.

After having completed the development of GISMA's new SERIES 80 wet mateable 4-way fibre optic connector it is available now.
The smart and clever design in combination with robust mating mechanics makes the high performance connector suitable for several applications in water depths up to 6000 metres.
As known from our SERIES 80 electrical connectors three different versions are available (stab plate mating, mating by ROV, mating by diver).

These are the key features of the new SERIES 80 fibre optic connector:

• Patented design
• 4 spring loaded and linear moving ferrules
• Easy and robust mating
• High precise contact alignment in the centre
• f/o contacts as “physical contact” connection
• Total attenuation <1,8dB per fibre line (including alle three
  interfaces: wet matebale connection itself plus front/rearside)
• 600bars pressure watertight
• Field mountable with rear side DIN/LSA ferrules
• Both sides pressure compensated
• 2 independent pressure balanced membranes on both sides
• Delivery assembled and tested
• Return loss >40dB SM / >30dB MM
• Designed for moulding and hose termination technique

Relocation
GISMA Steckverbinder GmbH has invested
in new production facilities in Neumünster. The relocation to the new premises - which cover 7800 m² with a 3200 m² building – has been taking place in the beginning of 2009.

After having made several additions to the already existing building during the last years, the area admitted no further extension of the building. This, however, is necessary to comply with the developing market requirements and – thus – to maintain and ensure new jobs as well as to guarantuee the continuity and growth of the company.
