Leading Manufacturer of Subsea Interconnect Solutions & Underwater Cables

Who We Are: RV Power Group — Subsea Interconnect & Underwater Cable Manufacturer

RV Power Group is a specialist manufacturer of subsea interconnect solutions and high-performance underwater cables, headquartered in China with a global customer base spanning commercial diving, ROV operations, offshore energy, aquaculture, and marine research. Every product we ship is engineered to perform reliably at depth — because in the subsea world, connector failure is not an option.

This page gives engineers, procurement managers, and project teams a clear picture of who we are, what we manufacture, and why leading operators trust RV Power Group for their most demanding wet-mate and umbilical requirements.

Our Core Product Lines

1. Underwater Connectors

Our connector portfolio covers the full spectrum of subsea interface requirements, from compact low-pin-count sensor connectors to multi-contact hybrid opto-electrical assemblies rated beyond 3,000 m depth.

Micro Circular Series

Compact, low-profile bulkhead and cable connectors for ROV sensors, underwater cameras, acoustic instruments, and subsea control modules. Available in 2 to 16 contacts, with male (pin) and female (socket) configurations. Double O-ring face seal. Depth-rated to 4,000 m (400 bar).

Circular Series

Medium-format circular connectors for higher-current and multi-signal applications including ROV manipulators, lighting systems, and mid-size instruments. Contact counts from 3 to 24. Rated to 600 bar.

Ethernet Series (13-Pin)

Dedicated high-speed data connectors integrating power, control, and gigabit Ethernet in a single underwater-rated interface. Eliminates multi-connector breakouts in ROV topside and subsea nodes.

Coax Series

Single and dual coax wet-mate connectors for HD video transmission from underwater cameras, side-scan sonar, and multibeam systems. 75-ohm impedance matched. BNC and custom termination options.

Photoelectric (Hybrid Opto-Electrical) Series

Combines electrical power and fiber optic data channels in one connector body — the preferred solution for high-bandwidth ROV tether terminations, subsea multiplexers, and observatory nodes where copper data transmission is insufficient.

55 Series / Power Series / Split Series

Heavy-duty connectors for high-current power distribution in work-class ROV systems, subsea power hubs, and umbilical termination units. Split-shell designs allow field assembly without potting.

Low Profile & Metal Shell Series

Space-constrained applications such as diver equipment, compact AUVs, and instrument frames where full circular connectors are too large. Metal shell variants provide superior EMI shielding and mechanical robustness.

2. Underwater Cables & ROV Tethers

ROV Signal Tether

Neutrally buoyant, torsion-balanced tether cables for observation-class and inspection ROVs. Available in 3 mm to 12 mm OD. Twisted pair signal cores, polyurethane outer jacket, Kevlar strength member options.

ROV Power Cable

High-voltage rated (up to 3 kV AC/DC) power umbilicals for work-class ROVs. Longitudinally watertight with swellable tape and PU jacket. Custom cross-sections from 1.5 mm² to 50 mm².

Hybrid Power & Signal Umbilical

Combined power cores, signal pairs, fiber optic elements, and hydraulic hoses in a single integrated umbilical — the backbone of work-class ROV systems. Designed to MIL, DNV, and Lloyd's Register standards on request.

Fiber Optic Hybrid Cable

Single-mode and multi-mode fiber integrated with copper power conductors. Armor options: galvanized steel wire, stainless steel wire, or para-aramid braid for deep-water applications.

Diver Umbilicals & Communication Cables

Surface-supplied diving umbilicals integrating breathing gas hose, communications cable, video cable, and lifeline. Compliant with IMCA D 023 and EN 15333. Karabiner-ready.

Drum, Reeling & Crane Cables

Flexible reeling cables designed for continuous flexing on cable drums, crane festoon systems, and drag chains. Class 6 stranding, oil-resistant jackets, rated to 50 million flex cycles.

Specialty & Custom Cables

AEROSTAT cables, ruler cables, spiral cables, and fully bespoke assemblies. Engineering team available to develop custom cross-sections from client specifications.

Manufacturing Capability

Our factory operates dedicated production lines for:

  • Precision CNC machining of connector bodies (316L stainless steel, titanium, Delrin, PEEK)
  • Rubber molding and polyurethane overmolding for wet-mate connector faces
  • Multi-core cable extrusion with in-line spark testing
  • Hyperbaric pressure testing to 600 bar (equivalent to 6,000 m water depth)
  • Salt-spray, UV, and thermal cycling environmental qualification
  • Full dimensional inspection with CMM and optical comparators

Lead times: Standard catalog items ship in 7–15 working days. Custom assemblies typically 4–8 weeks from approved drawings.

Quality Assurance

Every connector batch undergoes 100% electrical continuity and insulation resistance testing before shipment. Pressure test certificates are issued on request. Our quality management system is built on ISO-aligned procedures with full traceability from raw material to finished assembly.

We maintain detailed material certifications for all metallic and elastomeric components, including mill test reports for 316L stainless steel and third-party compound certification for polyurethane and EPDM seals.
