The photoelectric-liquid composite submarine cable test connection device according to any one of claims 1 to 8 is used to connect the photoelectric-liquid composite submarine cable, comprising the following steps: S1: stripping and cutting off the outer sheath of the optical-electrical-hydraulic composite submarine cable to be tested, and passing the remaining portion of the optical-electrical-hydraulic composite submarine cable to be tested through the first sleeve; S2: bending the outer armor steel wire of the optical-electrical-hydraulic composite submarine cable to be tested so that the outer armor steel wire is located between the first sleeve and the clamping piece, and passing the remaining portion of the optical-electrical-hydraulic composite submarine cable to be tested through the clamping piece; S3: Bend the inner armor steel wire of the photoelectric-liquid composite submarine cable to be tested so that the inner armor steel wire is located between the clamping piece and the clamping portion, and connect the first sleeve to the second sleeve; S4: stripping and cutting the inner sheath, passing the remaining portion of the optical-electrical-liquid composite submarine cable to be tested through the second sleeve, and passing the ends of the electrical unit and the optical unit through the cable holes; S5: Insert the end of the support tube through the through hole of the connector, connect the connector to the second sleeve, and seal the support tube to the side wall of the through hole; S6: Connect the sealing member to the connecting member, with the end of the support tube located in the pressurized chamber.

10. The connection method for testing an electro-optical-liquid composite submarine cable according to claim 9, characterized in that: The step S2 also includes a step of cutting the outer armor steel wire, cutting the outer armor steel wire so that the end of the outer armor steel wire is located between the clamping part and the first sleeve. The step S3 also includes a step of cutting the inner armor steel wire, cutting the inner armor steel wire so that the end of the inner armor steel wire is located between the clamping part and the clamping part.
