The following is a basic specification for DigiTRON connectors. Actual product may vary. Please refer to product specific data sheet(s), website https://www.siemens-energy.com /search Subsea, or contact Siemens Energy Technical Support connectortechnicalsupport.gb@siemens-energy.com for more detailed information. General specification of the product is listed in section 2.2. Additional specifications are as follows. - Page 19 Plug connectors do not require full dummy connectors for protection. Siemens Energy Subsea advise the fitting of acetal caps to protect plugs against marine growth. It is good practice to always fit the protective cap when a connector is unmated topside prior to deployment to provide mechanical protection.
