1. A cable transition device comprising:
first and second coupling members configured to receive first and second cable sections of a structurally augmented cable, the first cable section including a structural overwrap disposed over a signal-carrying cable, the signal-carrying cable including an inner conductor, an outer conductor, a dielectric material therebetween and a compliant outer jacket, the first cable section defining a stepped transition and a mating interface between the structural overwrap and the compliant outer jacket of the signal-carrying cable, the second section comprising a portion of the signal-carrying cable extending beyond the stepped transition; a support sleeve interposing the mating interface and including an annular barb at one end, a radially compliant flange at the other end and a sleeve configured to connect the annular barb and the radially compliant flange; a first compression band disposed within a first cavity of the first coupling member; the first compression band disposed on one side of the stepped transition; a second compression band disposed within a second cavity of the second coupling member; the second compression band disposed on the other side of the stepped transition; and an anchor configured to couple at least one the coupling members to a support structure, wherein the first compression band defines a first seal between the structural overwrap of the first cable section and the first coupling member, wherein the second compression band defines a second seal between the compliant outer jacket of the second cable section and the second coupling member, wherein the anchor is configured to produce a load path from the structural overwrap of the structurally augmented cable to the support structure, wherein the first and second coupling members are connected along a threaded interface and displaced axially to radially deform the first and second compression bands against the respective cable sections, the first and second compression bands producing an environmental seal to prevent infiltration of debris into the mating interface between the structural overwrap of the first cable section and the compliant outer jacket of the second cable section, and wherein the first compression band is configured to urge the annular barb into the structural overwrap to transfer the axial load carried by the structural overwrap into the radially compliant flange of the support sleeve, into the first coupling member and into the anchor. |
