Blue Robotics Introduces a New Brand and Line of Underwater Penetrators: WetLink and the WetLink Penetrator

Torrance based Blue Robotics announced their newest concept and product, the WetLink family of products and the WetLink Penetrator. The WetLink Penetrator (WLP) is Blue Robotics’ next-generation solution for low-cost, high pressure, high reliability sealing of electrical cables as they pass into enclosures or other devices. It’s rated to a depth of 950 meters (3,116 feet) and compared to subsea connectors or penetrators, the WLP is a fraction of the cost while offering validated reliability. The first size of the WLP product is available now for $12 each and compatible with 6.0-6.5mm cable diameters.




The patent-pending design of the WLP is based on a compression gland seal design, optimized for sealing rubber jacketed cables at the high pressures seen in the ocean. Blue Robotics development effort was focused on testing and reliability, with a thorough validation through extreme operating conditions.

Blue Robotics CEO, Rustom Jehangir, says, “the WetLink Penetrator represents a huge step forward in Blue Robotics’ history. It’s part of a fundamental shift towards reliability and ruggedness while maintaining the low prices and fast availability that have been a key part of our company mission.”



The WLP now comes standard on the company’s T200 Thruster, in the BlueROV2, and in user assembled kit form and is available from Blue Robotics and worldwide distributors. The company intends to offer a full product line of WLP sizes for various cable diameters and constructions to serve the needs of the subsea industry, coming later this year.



Blue Robotics is based in Torrance, California and launched in 2014 with a highly successful Kickstarter campaign. Since then, the company has shipped tens of thousands of thruster motors and has released many other products for marine robotics, including the BlueROV2 remotely operated underwater vehicle. Blue Robotics’ has 55 distributors around the world and products operating in every part of the world!
