Abstract
A joint between a pair of optical fiber submarine cables having a central armoring in the form of a wire rope, optical fibers disposed around the armoring and a sheath around the optical fibers. The joint contains a watertight housing for optoelectronic repeaters which has a central through-cavity into which the end portions of the armoring, or an interconnecting armoring, extend, and the end portions are mechanically secured together within the through-cavity, or to the ends of the interconnecting armoring which are outside the housing. The sheaths are interconnected by a metallic casing surrounding and secured to the housing for the repeaters, and the sheaths may also be connected to the housing by further metal casings. The housing for the repeaters is secured to the armorings of the cables or the interconnecting armoring.
