It is important to prepare and mate connectors correctly, both in terms of the costs to repair them and to preserve data quality.

Application Note 57: Connector Care and Cable Installation describes the proper care and installation of standard connectors for Sea-Bird instruments. The Application Note covers connector cleaning and cable or dummy plug installation, locking sleeve installation, and cold weather tips.
