Integration Hub: compact power and communications node for multi-instrument underwater deployments, rated to 300 m depth.

H2 integration hub

Full integration in a compact form factor

The H2 is a compact oceanographic instrument integration hub that aggregates power and communications from shore into a single subsea node, then distributes both to up to six individually controlled output ports. Each port can be configured to supply 5, 12, 24, or 48 VDC, support Ethernet or serial communications, or serve as a hardwired acquisition trigger, adapting to whatever instrument is connected.

All data streams are aggregated into a single 10 Gigabit connection to shore over single-mode fiber or Ethernet, at 48 VDC or 375 VDC. The hard anodized aluminum housing, double O-ring seals, and 300 m depth rating make the H2 appropriate for demanding long-term observatory deployments where a smaller footprint is required.

// Features

Configurable, monitored, and built to last

  • 6 individually configurable and monitored output ports: 5/12/24/48 VDC, Ethernet, or serial
  • Software-controllable hardwire trigger per output channel for instrument synchronization
  • Compact form factor for deployments with tighter space or weight constraints
  • 9-axis accelerometer for platform orientation and motion logging
  • Per-channel health monitoring: voltage, current, temperature, and humidity
  • Hard anodized aluminum housing (corrosion-resistant in long-term marine environments)
  • Double O-ring seals with monofilament retainer for reliable 300 m waterproofing
  • 375 VDC input option for long cable runs from shore to deep deployment sites
// Applications

Where H2 is deployed

  • Ocean observatories: fixed-station multi-instrument platforms with shore power and communications
  • Marine energy monitoring: central hub for cameras, hydrophones, ADCPs, and environmental sensors
  • Long-term ecological deployments: consolidated power and comms reduces wet connector count and maintenance
  • Aquaculture infrastructure: multi-sensor monitoring platforms for large offshore facilities
  • Underwater vehicle docking stations: power delivery and data aggregation for AUV operations
  • Research platforms: flexible port configuration adapts to evolving sensor payloads
