1013C1 High-Bandwidth Underwater Transceiver


Introduction

The model 1013C1 High-Bandwidth Communications Transceiver is an


Ethernet-compatible, optical transceiver capable of supporting 10Mbps data
communications. A single 1013C1 transmitter/receiver pair provides 10Mbps
simplex operation through a water-column range of up to 40 m, depending on
water clarity and ambient sunlight, while a second transmitter/receiver pair
permits full-duplex operation over the same range. Unlike acoustic systems,
the 1013C1 is not affected by thermal or salinity gradients, ambient acoustic
noise or bottom/surface reflections. The 1013C1 uses standard 10BaseT
Ethernet interfaces and fully supports TCP/IP and UDP protocols.

Installation and setup are easy! The transceiver automatically handles


acquisition and link integrity, behaving like just another Ethernet cable, except
it is wireless and fiberless! The 1013C1 incorporates sophisticated automatic
gain-control to provide trouble-free performance under a wide variety of
environmental conditions.

System Components

The transceiver system consists of a transmitter and a receiver each packaged


in its own anodized-aluminum pressure vessel. The transmitter and receiver
are connected via wet-mateable connectors to an electrical harness that
carries data and power. Standard harness configurations use Subconn
Circular 12-pin connectors in a “y” configuration between the 2 pressure
vessels and the system interface. Other harnessing configurations and
connectors are available on request, including fiber-optic interface.

Because the 1013C1 is fully Ethernet compatible, the only additional system
components are your computer or other data source, and a power supply
(24VDC standard, other voltages on request).

Mounting

The transceiver pressure vessels are fabricated from


anodized aluminum and are conveniently mounted using
a saddle machined to the same radius (2.005 inches plus
tolerance) or a somewhat larger radius with a resilient
cushion (such as thin layer of rubber) to compensate for
any dimensional errors and prevent hard spots. The
external dimensions of the pressure vessel are shown for
reference in inches. Data and power connector is on
axis at the rear bulkhead.
