ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber submarine cable splice housing includes a pressure vessel arranged for securely terminating an optical fiber cable and an optical fiber. A metallic tube formed into a helix is fixed to the cable termination. The optical fiber extends from the terminated cable and through the tube to a fiber termination on the splice housing. The tube acts like a capstan for the optical fiber so that a small tensile force at the fiber termination will hold the fiber in place while a much larger tensile force exists in the fiber where it leaves the cable termination.
