MINK connector
The RBRquartz³ APT instrument has an external MINK-10-FCR connector. The MINK interface provides both data and power connections and is located near the pressure sensor. The MINK data and power connections allow for extended deployments by providing external power and realtime data access without jeopardising the watertight seal.
