Abstract
A hermaphroditic submarine cable connector link for a multisection seismic marine streamer cable includes identical end fittings mounted at each end of a pair of adjacent cable sections. Identical connector plates are coupled to electrical conductors at each end of the sections. The connector plates from the pair of adjacent cable sections are mated and then linked to the end fittings. A barrel is slipped over the end fittings and around the mated connector plates. The end fittings are locked by the barrel in spaced-apart relationship, employing a ball-and-detent locking arrangement.
