An assembly for splicing and repairing an umbilical is provided having two terminal bend restrictors and two strain terminators, here each terminal bend restrictor has at least two interconnected modules, a connecting end, and a free end. The strain terminators have a strain receiving end and a strain providing end, with each of the strain receiving ends is connected to one of the connecting ends of the terminal bend restrictors. The assembly further has an intermediate bend restrictor having at least two interconnected modules and two connecting ends. The two strain terminators are connected at their strain providing ends to separate connecting ends of the intermediate bend restrictor, and the intermediate bend restrictor is dimensioned to withstand tensile strain from the connected strain terminators. |
