<p>A sealing assembly for an optical fibre feed through inhibits passage of water or gases via a fibre's protective sheath while preserving mechanical protection of the fibre. …<??>A length (A-A min ) of the fibre (4) is exposed by removal of the corresponding sheath portion. Both the exposed surface of the fibre (4) and the ends (6 min , 6) of the sheath (5) are sealed into a common bore (2) in a ferrule (1). Demountable end members (9, 10) may be provided, to extend the bore (2) into which the sheath ends (6 min , 6) are sealed. …<??>The sealing assembly finds particular application in optical fibre feed through at submarine cable repeater housing bulkheads.</p> |
