<p>A device for damping the vibrations of a suspension cable (1) comprises an annular gutter (6) surrounding a length of the suspension cable and made fast with this length, a ring (8) mounted in the gutter, with the interposition of an annular cavity (7), so as to be able to move transversely relative to this gutter, seals (10) of low deformability for ensuring the leaktightness of the annular cavity with respect to the outside, a pad (9) made from a material capable of yielding without modifying its overall volume and filling the annular cavity, and a rigid structure (11) connecting the ring to an appropriate foundation (12).
