Abstract
An energy kite may be coupled to a tether and ground station. The tether or other cables may need to be terminated, where one or more components of the cable need to be separated and terminated individually. In energy kite systems, it is common for the tether (or other cables) to have small mass and diameter. The termination may also include a first potted region with a softer potting material and a second potted region with a harder potting material.
