<p>A bulkhead feedthrough assembly has a first end for releasable mating engagement with an underwater cable, a second end for releasable mating engagement in a bulkhead opening, and a through bore for guiding a plurality of leads from the cable through the bulkhead opening. A seal member is releasably mounted in the bore, and has a plurality of through bores equal to the number of leads, each lead extending through a respective bore. The seal member in a unstressed condition has an outer diameter greater than the feedthrough bore diameter, and each of the seal member through bores has an unstressed diameter less than the diameter of the respective lead, so as to resist leakage of seawater past the seal member.</p> |
