PCT No. PCT/GB89/01494 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 23, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 23, 1991 PCT Filed Dec. 13, 1989 PCT Pub. No. WO90/07139 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 28, 1990.An optical cable is terminated onto a ferrule which is secured to the tensile element of the cable. The components of the cable are clamped in order to a tail-piece of the ferrule. This prevents relative displacement of cable elements. The termination can be standardised for different cables which can then be connected by securing the tail-pieces of their terminations in a connector tube. The joint is particularly suitable for use with submarine cables. |
