Abstract
A connection for joining the ends of two under-water optical fiber cables each comprising: an optical core constituted by a carrier wire covered by a helically grooved plastics rod with optical fibers inserted in its grooves; a protective tape surrounding the optical core; a steel wire arch assembly; a copper tube drawn down over the arch assembly; and a plastics insulating sheath. Said connection includes two smooth rods (22, 22') glued to the ends of each cable on the carrier wire (2, 2') round which the optical fibers (4, 4') are wound, the fibers being welded one-to-one and protected by tapes (23, 23'), two split tubes (24, 24') covering the optical fibers wrapped in tape at the ends of each cable, a sheath (19) around which the ends of each arch assembly are formed again into cables and a sleeve (12) glued and/or crimped on the ends of each arch assembly.
