A flex-accommodating cable termination for a synthetic cable, including; an anchor (18), having a first side and a second side;a passage (28, 38) passing completely through said anchor (18) from said first side to said second side;said passage (28, 38) including a cable locking region (16). Cable locking means for locking the said cable to said anchor at said cable locking region (16), so that said cable is divided into a locked portion held within said cable locking region (16) and a freely flexing portion extending out said first side of said anchor (18); wherein a smoothly curved expansion (34) joins said passage (28, 38) to said first side of said anchor (18); a passage portion (38) between said cable locking region and said smoothly curved expansion; and wherein said freely flexing portion of said cable (10) lying proximate said smoothly curved expansion (34) is completely unencumbered so that it can bend around said smoothly curved expansion (34) when said freely flexing portion is angularly offset from said anchor (18). The cable terminations reduce stress in the transition between the potted region and the freely flexing region of a cable when the cable flexes laterally with respect to the anchor. |
