ANCHORING LIGHT WEIGHT SUBMARINE CABLE

摘要

A fibre optic lightweight submarine cable (2) is terminated to a tail cable (4) and anchored to a repeater housing (9) with preformed high-tensile steel anchor wires (1,3). The wires are clamped at one end (10) between a collar (7) and frusto-conical clamping segments (11) and strapped at the other end with binders (14). Over the tail cable portion is a spring (6) located on ferrules (6A, 7A) and acting to prevent the anchor wires crushing the tail cable (4).
