A system can include a head connector, a stress member connector, and a tail connector. The system can include a first plurality of stress members coupled to the head connector and to the stress member connector. The first plurality of stress members can enter through a first side of the stress member connector. The system can include a second plurality of stress members coupled to the tail connector and to the stress member connector. The second plurality of stress members can exit through a second side of the stress member connector. The second plurality of stress members can be axially nonaligned with the first plurality of stress member connectors.

Stress member connector

A termination for an end of a braid formed as a flat closed loop of braided strands expandable to an annular cylinder having a selected wall thickness includes a sleeve having a selected internal diameter. Spacers are configured to be applied on the braid such that when in contact with each other form an annular cylinder having an external diameter selected to fit inside the sleeve. The spacers have a bevel at one longitudinal end. A substantially cylindrical insert has a bevel at one longitudinal end at substantially a same bevel angle as on the spacers. A diameter of the insert combined with twice the wall thickness of the braid is larger than an internal diameter the spacers. When axial tension is applied to the braid, the bevel on the insert with braid thereon laterally urges the spacers outward. The sleeve limits lateral outward movement of the spacers.

Method and apparatus for terminating rope and its application to seismic streamer strength members

A seismic streamer includes a jacket covering an exterior of the streamer. At least one strength member extends along the length of the jacket. The strength member is disposed inside the jacket. At least one seismic sensor is disposed in an interior of the jacket. An acoustically transparent material fills void space in the interior of the jacket. A plurality of spacers is disposed at spaced apart positions along the strength member, wherein the distance between the spacers is varied.
