Abstract
A flexible termination between a submersible repeater housing and a submarine cable comprises a double ball link bar (20) and a cooperating socket (12) coupled to the repeater housing (1) and a similar socket (11) coupled to the cable. This enables a compact lightweight flexible termination having a large angle of flexure. In an alternative embodiment a double gimbal arrangement is used.
