<p>A joint between a submarine optical fibre cable 7 and a repeater housing 3 is divided into two parts coupled by a section of flexible pressure resistant hose 1. The hose 1 is attached at one end to the repeater housing 3 and at the other end to a modified cable to cable joint 6. The cable 7 terminates at the modified cable to cable joint 6 and optical signals and electrical power are transmitted from the cable 7 to the repeater apparatus inside the repeater housing 1 by means of optical fibre tails and insultated electrical conductors which extend from the modified cable to cable joint, along the hose 1, through a feed through arrangement at the repeater housing bulkhead 2 and as far as the repeater apparatus. </p> |
