FITA

The Field Installable Termination Assembly, or FITA, is a unique system that assembles a harness cable or array of harness cables to a cable, typically from subsea control systems to an umbilical. Unlike other termination assemblies, the FITA can be assembled on site without the need for moulding.

Booting technology is efficient and convenient
MacArtney booting technology makes the FITA termination entirely watertight at every level.

Designed to be handled in the field, FITA terminations can be performed by trained operators on board, making it possible to repair broken cables without lengthy down time sending materials for onshore repair. Terminations can be re-used without the need for cleaning.

Works fully flooded
FITA terminations are oil compensated, maintaining the same pressure inside the termination as outside. This allows them to operate at full ocean depth without the need for thick, heavy shells.

Though oil filled, should water ingress the termination, it can still continue to operate fully flooded in saltwater for 4-6 months.
