Abstract
A subsea connector cable connection system has an interface and a retainer. One of the interface and the retainer has an external screw thread on a cylindrical section and the other has a corresponding internal screw thread on a cylindrical section. The interface further includes a conical body extending from the cylindrical section and the retainer further includes a corresponding conical internal surface extending from the cylindrical section and adapted to be spaced from the surface of the conical body when the interface and retainer are screwed together. Interaction of the conical body and conical internal surface produces a first end stop adapted to stop axial movement of the retainer. A second end stop remote from the first end stop is provided, adapted to stop axial movement of the cable. In one embodiment the connector may include a locking mechanism whereby undoing the joint requires more torque than doing up the joint.
