SENSOR ARRAY CABLE AND FABRICATION METHOD |
摘要 |
A sensor array cable (1) and method of construction thereof utilizing a sensor/interlink assembly (3, 6) to facilitate the relatively easy and inexpensive installation of a sensor device (3) in a cable that includes a strength member (4) to provide tensile strength to the cable, optical fibers or wires for carrying electrical or optical energy to and from the sensor device, and a protective outer jacket (8). A portion of the protective outer jacket is removed allowing access to the inner strength (4) and optical fibers (7). A segment of the strength member (4) is removed and an interlink/sensor assembly (3, 6) is installed in its place. The interlink serves to maintain the tensile strength of the cable. Optical fibers (7) and/or electrical wires are connected to the sensor device for operation. The interlink/sensor assembly (3, 6) and associated optical fibers and electrical wires are then enclosed in an overmold (9) which is sealed to the outer protective jacket.
