Designed to handle quickly by ROV or diver in a disturbed environment, FastConn connectors allow for reliable connection and disconnection up to depths of 6000 metres.

Internal and metal parts are not in motion. The highly accomplished ergonomics of the connectors comes from fruitful exchanges with different teams of ROV operators. It also ensures a simple, fast, reliable connection and an anti-ripping lock.

Our FastConn connectors are deployed in all oceans, in great depth. They give full satisfaction to the observatories that use them. The main observatories equipped are: NEPTUNE Canada in the Pacific Ocean, MoMAR in the Atlantic Ocean and Antares in the Mediterranean Sea.
