At ENABLE, our aim is to redefine the performance and reliability of subsea well connectivity through a new generation of precision-engineered fibre optic and electrical solutions.
Drawing on over four decades of hands-on experience across Subsea Xmas Trees, Completions and Landing Strings, our products will be built to address the most demanding downhole environments - keeping subsea wells connected, performing and productive throughout their full operational life.
Mechanical Fibre Optic Splice CONNECTOR
ClaspLok®
ClaspLok® is a unique, patented worlds first mechanical fibre optic splice connector developed for Subsea and Downhole applications, addressing the traditional limitations and challenges of Fusion Splicing in offshore Rig based operations.
Developed using ENABLE’s Reliability Through Innovation™ approach, ClaspLok® significantly increases installation efficiency whilst reducing the technical risks associated with optical fibre terminations in offshore environments, representing a step change in optical connector reliability and opening up new possibilities for fibre across intelligent completions and subsea production systems (F.O distribution, DTS, DAS, DSS).
Features and Benefits
- Patented unique fibre clamping system
- Compatible with any MM or SM Fibre and downhole cable configuration
- High reliability and optimised time efficiency
- Low insertion loss UPC and APC
- Fibre termination and connection in challenging environments
- Fibre Optic termination and re-termination in a few minutes
