ABSTRACT:
An electro-optical connection assembly comprising a receptacle assembly and a plug assembly adapted for interconnection, the receptacle assembly having a first fiber optic line and a first electrically conductive tube concentrically arranged therein, and the plug assembly having a second fiber optic line and a second electrically conductive tube concentrically arranged therein, the receptacle assembly and the plug assembly being adapted for face-to-face connection to connect the first fiber optic line to the second fiber optic line and the first electrically conductive tube to the second electrically conductive tube. The receptacle assembly is further provided with means to resist displacement of the first fiber optic line by underwater pressure on the face of the receptacle assembly.
