PURPOSE: To make it possible to connect a repeater to optical fibers of a first group and a second group by providing a cylindrical body with constituting elements for mechanically fixing to the enclosure of the repeater at its one end, tightly connecting the other end thereof into the sheath of a cable and housing a liquid hermetic sealing means into the cylindrical body having mechanical resistance force. CONSTITUTION: The cylindrical body 18 is composed of some cylindrical parts 23 to 26 provided with end flanges which are aligned to each other and are fixed. The connecting parts between the various optical fibers to each other of the cylindrical parts 23 and 25 are housed into the case, by which the connection between the optical fibers of the case and the optoelectronic constituting elements of the repeater is made sure. Further, water-repellent grease is completely packed into all the cavities in the cylindrical parts 23 and 25 and the entire pace in the cylindrical part 26. As a result, the submarine communication having the optical fibers connected with the optical fibers of both types is made possible by using only the optoelectronic repeater of the type having the hermetic enclosure 10. |
