Abstract
A corrosion resistant termination connector for connecting to a steel wire rope and a modular fitting for use on a magnetic influence minesweeping cable is provided. The connector body is made of a high strength composite material, and has a common channel. The body has three sections: A ribbed annular stem, an abutment band with uniform edges for forming sealing occlusions, and an externally threaded spelter socket with a conical channel. Strands of the wire rope are splayed and adhesively joined with a mixture of thermosetting resins forming a conical wedge that secures the rope within the conical channel. The modular fitting is screwed on the elongate socket section, and includes a pin with a thimble. A molded insular cover seals the steel wire rope and the ribbed stem.
