SUBSEA DATA COMMUNICATION INTERFACE UNIT

摘要

A subsea data communication interface unit for enabling data communication over a subsea data transmission line is disclosed. The subsea data communication interface unit includes at least an electrical interface for providing an electrical connection to the subsea data transmission line and a transmitter adapted to generate a data signal corresponding to the data to be transmitted. To obtain stable, robust and reliable communication, it is proposed that the subsea data communication interface unit includes a first voltage amplifier connected between the transmitter and the electrical interface. The first voltage amplifier is configured to convert the data signal generated by the transmitter from a lower voltage signal to a higher voltage signal.
