Abstract
A termination between a lightweight submarine coaxial cable (1) and a tail cable (2) connectible to a submersible repeater includes slip inducing means (8, 14) arranged on the joint (4) and a portion of the submarine cable (1) adjacent the joint such that armour wires arranged on a predetermined length of the submarine cable (1), including the portion, and on the joint (4) will slip during transfer of tensile load from the cable (1) to the repeater housing and not cause compression forces that can damage the joint (4). The length of the armour wires applied directly to the submarine cable sheath is chosen to be sufficient to transfer the tensile load on the cable safely to the repeater housing.
