Abstract
A coupling and switch system for subsea electrical power distribution employs fluid-filled contact housings. The coupling and switch system includes two mutually spaced contact housings mounted along a common centerline. A space between the contact housing has therein a coupling housing or middle piece having contact elements. The middle piece when or after mounting between the contact housings is anchored in a fluid-tight manner thereto by axial movement of one or both contact housings. The contact elements of the middle piece can be moved into respective contact housings with the middle piece in the mounted position.
