Abstract
A multiple component mechanism for housing one or more fiber optic based sensors and one or more fiber organizers and other devices for the sensors is disclosed. The mechanism includes a splice component and a sensor component, which are hermetically sealed. The sensor and splice components include substantially tubular bodies having lids welded to the ends. The fiber organizer and other devices are installed in the cylindrical splice component. The one or more sensors are installed in the tubular body of the sensor component with wedging devices. In one embodiment, the sensor component is acoustically decoupled from the splice component by a tube welded to the lids of the components. The tube communicates optical fiber from the fiber organizer to the one or more sensors.
