FITA terminations.
FITA terminations are often oil compensated, thus maintaining the same pressure inside the ter- mination as outside. This allows operation at full ocean depth without the need for thick, heavy shells.
Because each conductor is isolated by an individual boot seal (should water ingress the oil- filled termination), it can still continue to operate fully flooded in salt water. Boot seals have been successfully tested to 20,000 psi (1360 bar).
