ABSTRACT:
A connection for connecting a submerged optical fiber line cable (1) to a housing (18) for equipment such as a repeater (17), said housing being provided with an optical fiber access cable (16). The line cable comprises an optical core containing optical fibers, an arch of steel wires surrounding the core, a copper tube swaged down over the arch, and an insulating sheath over the copper tube. The end of said line cable is fixed to a connection piece by means of a conical ring and a plug of hardenable resin. The connection includes a magazine (15) for storing excess lengths of said optical fibers, and said access cable is constituted by a tube inside which the optical fibers extend freely.
