A subsea connector includes a recess arranged on an inner surface of the housing of the subsea connector. The recess is configured to receive a canted coil spring such that it provides an electrical multi-point contact between an outer shielding layer, sometimes referred to as a screen, of a subsea cable. The subsea connector further includes a link configured to releasably attach an earth link wire to the housing.

A subsea connector, comprising: a housing having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface forming a passage,a recess arranged on the inner surface of the housing and configured to receive a canted coil spring,a link provided on the outer surface of the housing and configured to releasably attach an earth link wire to the housing,wherein when a subsea cable is arranged in the passage in the housing: the canted coil spring provides an electrical multi-point contact between an outer shielding layer of the subsea cable and the housing; and the inner surface, the recess, and the canted coil spring are configured to form an annular gap between the inner surface and the outer shielding layer of the subsea connector so that the inner surface and the outer shielding layer do not contact each other. 2. The subsea connector of claim 1, wherein the inner surface of the housing is formed by a circular bore defining the passage, andwherein the recess tangentially surrounds the circular bore. 3. The subsea connector of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a monolithic, annular body. 4. The subsea connector of claim 1, wherein the housing is made of copper. 5. The subsea connector of claim 1, wherein the link has a threading configured to engage with a counterpart threading of the earth link wire. 6. The subsea connector of claim 1, wherein the inner surface of the housing and the outer surface of the housing are ring-shaped and coaxially aligned. 7. The subsea connector of claim 1, further comprising: a further link provided on the outer surface of the housing and configured to releasably attach a tether piece such that at least one of rotational movement and linear movement of the housing with respect to the subsea cable is suppressed. 8. A system, comprising: the subsea connector of claim 1,wherein the canted coil spring is arranged in the recess. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the canted coil spring projects inwardly from the inner surface of the housing. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the canted coil spring is made of copper. 11. The system of claim 8, wherein the canted coil spring and the housing are made of the same material. 12. The system of claim 8, further comprising: the subsea cable arranged in the passage such that it is at least partly enclosed by the inner surface of the housing,wherein the subsea cable comprises a cable outer surface formed by the outer shielding layer,wherein the outer shielding layer is in contact with the canted coil spring. 13. A method, comprising: above sea, attaching an end of an earth link wire to a housing of a subsea connector, the housing having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface forming a passage,above sea, receiving a canted coil spring in a recess arranged on the inner surface of the housing,inserting a subsea cable into the passage,wherein when the subsea cable is arranged in the passage in the housing: the canted coil spring provides an electrical multi-point contact between an outer shielding layer of the subsea cable and the housing; and the inner surface, the recess, and the canted coil spring are configured to form an annular gap between the inner surface and the outer shielding layer of the subsea connector so that the inner surface and the outer shielding layer do not contact each other. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein said inserting of the subsea cable into the passage is executed above sea. 15. The method of claim 13, further comprising: above sea, attaching a further end of the earth link wire to a ground. 16. The subsea connector of claim 5, wherein the housing comprises a circular shape and a protrusion,wherein the protrusion comprises a bore comprising the threading, andwherein an axis of the bore is parallel to an axis of the passage. 17. The subsea connector of claim 16, further comprising the earth link wire comprising an end configured to thread into the threading. 18. A subsea connector, comprising: a housing having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface forming a passage,a canted coil spring,a recess arranged on the inner surface of the housing and configured to receive the canted coil spring such that the canted coil spring provides an electrical multi-point contact between an outer shielding layer of a subsea cable arranged in the passage and the housing, anda link provided on the outer surface of the housing and configured to releasably attach an earth link wire to the housing,wherein the link has a threading configured to engage with a counterpart threading of the earth link wire,wherein the housing comprises a circular shape and a protrusion,wherein the protrusion comprises a bore comprising the threading, andwherein an axis of the bore is parallel to an axis of the passage. 19. The subsea connector of claim 18, wherein the housing comprises a monolithic, annular body. 20. The subsea connector of claim 18, wherein the canted coil spring is arranged in the recess.
