Abstract
This invention carries a power cable from a floating power plant to a fixed connection from which the power cable can transmit to a distributing system on shore. The cable support distributes the bending of the cable over a length of cable so that no deterioration of the cable occurs as the result of successive bending and unbending with the tidal motion of the floating power plant. A jointed cover protects the cable support from exposure to the weather and from icing.
