SubConnect possesses unparalleled expertise and experience in all aspects of subsea cables, ranging from rigorous cable testing to the provision of Universal Joint and Universal Quick Joint parts, as well as offering comprehensive training and qualification services.

As part of the Global Marine Group, we are renowned as experts in subsea fibre-optic cables within the industries we serve. Our sister company Global Marine delivers extensive installation, maintenance, and emergency repair solutions tailored specifically to the telecommunications sector.

Qualification

SubConnect’s qualification services uphold a global standard, certifying that your cable or cable combination is deployable and repairable worldwide by accredited personnel.

SubConnect qualify cables to assess their suitability to work with Universal Joint (UJ) and Universal Quick Joint (UQJ) technology. Each cable type is characterised, and bespoke piece parts are designed and manufactured to ensure its compatibility to the UJ and UQJ solution.

The joint containing the cable or cable combination is then rigorously tested to a common specification in our test house to simulate shipboard deployment and requisite oceanographic conditions.

Following successful completion, a Qualification Certificate is issued to the customer and that cable (or cable combination) is included in the list of qualified cables and toolkits. End-specific kits are then constructed, and manuals are produced.

 JADE – Jointing Automated Documentation Environment 

JADE, is our innovative software tool backed by the Universal Joint Consortium (UJC). JADE revolutionizes the joint construction process by automating the creation of customized jointing materials primarily in visual formats for cables qualified under UJ and UQJ standards.

JADE meticulously logs the advancement of joint construction, documenting every step of the sub-operations with precise, traceable, and uniform data.

By implementing JADE, jointing teams ensure consistency across all projects, streamline the presentation of jointing data, and enhance the recording of crucial assembly stage parameters, ultimately boosting the efficiency of repair operations.
