ABSTRACT:
A repair arrangement for a fiber optic cable metallic sheath is formed of a pair of semi-cylindrical conductive tube sections (32,34) that mate to surround a section of cable (10) with damaged sheathing (12,14). Conductive clamps (36) are used to secure the attachment of the semi-cylindrical sections to the cable. The arrangement is relatively easy and quick to attach to the damaged cable and restores both the physical and electrical integrity to the cable.
