 The
FACT is a new and key enabling cable termination technology that has been
developed to extend the operational depth, and significantly increase the
reliability of cable terminations. FACT is qualified for use at ocean depths up
to 20,000ft. The FACT modularized system completely isolates the cable elements
from the pressure-balanced dielectric fluid-filled splice chamber and ambient
subsea pressure using a penetrator assembly. The FACT approach to cable
termination eliminates cable-dependent design limitations and common
mode/single point failures.The major design elements used are based on fully
qualified and field-proven Nautilus and Fiber-Seal technologies, and draws upon
ODI’s extensive experience in cable termination. The FACT system is
compatible with over 80% of existing subsea cables.
The FACT penetrator assemblies may be terminated directly to atmospheric
enclosures or pressure-balanced dielectric fluid-filled splice canisters. It is
ideally suited for a multitude of umbilical termination applications. The FACT
penetrator assemblies have been designed with modularity in mind and may be
used with ancillary accessories to adapt to a wide array of
interfaces.Additionally, the FACT penetrator assemblies can accommodate a wide
range of armored and non-armored electrical, optical and hybrid cables, with or
without gel fill. A combination of up to six FACT penetrators and/or jumper
assemblies with any combination of optical, electrical or hybrid connectors can
be accommodated in the standard dielectric-filled pressure-balanced splice
canister. A single entry/exit dielectric fluid-filled pressure-balanced splice
canister is also available;either a jumper assembly or connector may be fitted
to the splice canister.
