A gimbal connection structure for connecting undersea equipment and a submarine cable which includes an annular gimbal housing fixed to the end of the undersea equipment and having a pair of first holes, a gimbal ring having a pair of second holes and an arcuate elongated hole, and a gimbal having a first end formed with a third hole and a second end to which the submarine cable is connected. The pair of first pins are inserted in the first and second holes, respectively, and the gimbal ring is turnably connected to the gimbal housing. Further, the second pin is fixedly inserted in the third hole in the gimbal through the arcuate elongated hole in the gimbal ring. Thereby, the gimbal is turnably and slidably connected to the gimbal ring.
