Abstract
An assembly for fixing an undersea telecommunications cable with a central strength member (1) but no metal armouring to the housing of a repeater (2). It includes a funnel-shaped conical part (3) with a flared mouth piece, a neck 3A whose inside diameter is equal to the diameter of the cable. Said conical part is fixed to the housing of the repeater. An elongate elastomer sleeve surrounds the end of the cable up to the inner zone of the neck of said conical part and has an outside diameter which tapers gradually towards its end distant from said mouth piece. An elongate shell (8) is made of stratified glass and resin material, said material surrounding the flared end of the mouth piece of the conical part and said sleeve. An outer sleeve (9) made of braid of high tensile strength extends around the periphery of said shell, and an elevator cover (10) surrounds the aforementioned parts. Application to cables which are to be submerged to great depths.
