Abstract
A plug includes a housing defining an inner space that is sealably separated from the underwater environment, a first contact disposed within the inner space and including a first conducting region, a second contact disposed within the inner space and including a second conducting region, a third contact disposed within the inner space and including a third conducting region, and a connection cartridge selectively movable between three discrete positions without disconnecting the plug from the receptacle. A first position provides an electrical connection between the first conducting region and the second conducting region and insulates the third conducting region, a second position in which the first conducting region, the second conducting region, and the third conducting region are electrically connected to one another, and a third position in which the first conducting region, the second conducting region, and the third conducting region are electrically insulated from one another.
