UNDERSEA OPTICAL AMPLIFIER MODULE HAVING COUPLED OUTBOARD SPLICE ENCLOSURES

摘要

An optical amplifier module is coupled to a proximal end of an optical fiber splice enclosure that is located outboard of the amplifier module. At a distal end of the optical splice enclosure, a cable terminating body receiving portion is provided for interfacing with a came terminating body. The cable terminating body receiving portion includes a radial aperture that is arranged to align with a radial cavity in the cable terminating body so that a shear pin may be extended through the radial aperture and into the radial cavity to thereby couple the cable terminating body to the optical fiber splice enclosure.
