Abstract
An apparatus and method for splicing light conductors in composite cables, in particular marine cables, comprising a plurality of spliced cable sections of power conductors and sections of light conductors. With a view to uninterrupted armouring along the entire length and thus the ability to maintain a sufficient tensile and flexural strength, the splice of the light conductors is provided at a distance from the splice of the power conductors and with a cross-sectional contour which essentially corresponds to the cable cross-section. Then the armouring is wound uninterruptedly around the cable and encloses the splices of the power conductors as well as the light conductors.
