CABLE LOAD TRANSFER APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR SEISMIC DATA ACQUISITION

摘要

A connector for a cable having a core stress member surrounded by a secondary stress member may include a connector body, a wedge, a retainer, a molded body, and a collar. The connector body may have at least one flow channel formed on an inner surface of the distal end and at least one radial hole providing fluid communication to the at least one flow channel. The wedge is disposed in a pocket of the connector body and is attachable to the core stress member. The molded body surrounds the distal end, fills the at least one flow channel, and attaches to the secondary stress member. The collar may at least partially enclose the connector body.

1. A connector for a cable having a core stress member surrounded by a secondary stress member, the connector comprising:
a connector body having:
a distal end having an inner surface defining a bore for receiving an exposed section of the secondary stress member, at least one flow channel formed on the inner surface, and at least one radial hole providing fluid communication to the at least one flow channel,a pocket adjacent to the bore, anda plug end opposite to the distal end, the plug end receiving an electrical connector associated with a seismic device; a wedge received into the pocket of the connector body, the wedge being attachable to the core stress member; a retainer securing the wedge in the pocket of the connector body; a molded body surrounding the distal end and filling the at least one flow channel, the molded body attaching to the secondary stress member; and a collar at least partially enclosing the connector body, the collar having a first end matable with a seismic device and a second end, the collar including a retainer ring positioned at the second end, wherein the connector body is captured between the retainer ring and the seismic device.
