Our LiteBOS connectors are designed to be rugged, but with the constraint of being as light as is practicable. These are excellent where weight is an issue such as ROVs and AUVs. They are also a bit smaller than their big brothers, HeavyBOS, due to less massive cross sections.
The LiteBOS connectors were derived from our HeavyBOS connectors that customers love but couldn’t deal with the weight. They asked us for something tough, but much lighter. They liked some of the features of the HeavyBOS, such as snug-fitting locking sleeves that help the inline cables deal with off-axis bending.
