An Ethernet connecting device has metal contacts 28 passing through glass to which they are sealed, held in rounded holes in a metal body 29. The contacts are connected to Ethernet connectors 5 and 7, optionally via internal connectors 13 and 15. Body 29 is welded to tubes 23 and 37, to form a connecting device which can be inserted into outer tube 21 and locked there by member 47. The outer tube can be welded to a bulkhead which it passes through. The arrangement provides a hermetic seal, and allows easy replacement of the connecting device. |
