ABSTRACT:
Each of the cables comprises an axial compartment (3, 3') housing the fibers, a steel wire armoring (5, 5') wound around said compartment, a copper tube (9, 9') shrink-fitted over the armoring, and an outside jacket (13, 13'). The center section of said device comprises a mandrel (1) around which the fibers are wound, and a metal sleeve (8) surrounding it with some play. The lateral sections of the device each comprise a metal anchoring part (6, 6') one end thereof having a bore hole (6A, 6A') for inserting the steel wires and the other end a bore hole (14, 14') for inserting the copper tube and the cable jacket, a conical ring (7, 7') for flaring and securing the steel wires, a hard-setting resin filler (12, 12') between the anchoring part and the conical ring, and a resin hood (10, 10') surrounding the end of the anchoring part.
