Deep-sea and Deep-ice technologies
I will be speaking about current developments in fiber optic hydralight wetmate
technology which now also incorporates electrical wetmate technologies using only 1
wetmate connector becoming a hybrid Hybralight wetmate connector. I will give an in
depth presentation of how the connector works with clear internal visuals. Will go
through a brief history of developments that lead to the...

Mechanics, Deployment and Infrastructure
During the first phase of implementation of the KM3NeT Research Infrastructure, the
installation sites will be furnished with a seafloor and shore infrastructure for
connection of the KM3NeT detection units with custom designed Digital Optical Modules
(DOMs) for detection of the Cherenkov light of the charged particles created in
neutrino-induced collisions in and in the vicinity of the...

Mechanics, Deployment and Infrastructure
With the first phase of the implementation of the KM3NeT Research Infrastructure in
the Mediterranean Sea, several design and technical choices have been made for the
realization of the power network at the installation sites. Considerations for these
choices - which are valid for large area detector networks in general - include the
arguments for AC or DC, the behaviour of the power...

In this paper we present the measurements of two different Dyneema ropes being
considered for the suspension of the optical modules in KM3NeT. Detailed tests
under load both in the lab and in the deep sea will be covered as will the details of
the design of the connection between ropes and optical module
