Abstract
A cluster of seismic streamer cable utility modules is provided with a set of hinged latching members. The hinged latching members are adapted secure the cluster to the steamer cable by closing the hinged latches around corresponding collars mounted on the streamer cable. The collars form an inner race while the closed hinged latches form an outer race to allow free relative rotation between the streamer cable and the cluster of modules.
