ABSTRACT:
Submersible cables that are placed in a body of fluid such as water or other fluids such as chemicals or sewage often require a takeoff to be added to the submersible cable wherein a window is cut in the exterior insulation of the submersible cable or parent trunk exposing interior wires or fiber optical cables or tubes and the like. The device and method for this fluid stop splice for a submersible cable where the desired conductors such as wires, fibers or tubes of the takeoff are suitably spliced to the necessary or desired wires, fibers or tubes of the parent trunk cable is such that a cofferdam is placed around the spliced area of the cables, fibers or tubes and a glutinous material is pumped, poured, or injected into the cofferdam where the glutinous material cures around the splice of the cables, fibers and or tubes and further forms a fluid tight seal around the cables, fibers and tubes to further stop fluid flow into the parent truck when the primary cable and takeoff are submerged into the fluid and further prevents electrical leakage, or the distribution communication leakage of the cables, fibers or tubes.
