A cable anchorage for anchoring a submarine cable strength member comprises conically tapered parts (2,4,5), at least one of which has a surface (2C, 4B) roughened by tungsten carbide grit evenly distributed and firmly bonded thereto prior to assembly of the parts. The grit size is chosen so that a sufficient locking mechanism is achieved but the grit indentations in the wire are not deep enough to weaken the wires (3B, 3C). An embodiment describes contra-wound wires and an intermediate insert (5) which can be omitted if only one layer of wires is being anchored. |
