ABSTRACT:
A cable connector assembly capable of mating to an armored optical cable and providing a hermetically sealed electronics cavity is described. A connector assembly provides a means for placing electronics in an electronics cavity. The electronics are capable of converting electrical signals to optical signals or optical signals to electrical signals within the electronics cavity in the connector assembly so that optical to optical matching of optical fibers is unnecessary. The connector contains a means for anchoring the armoring wire of the armored optical cable and at least two-spaced apart means for sealing the electronics cavity from leakage of pressure around the optical fiber cable. Furthermore, the connector assembly contains a means for passing the optical fiber core through a breakable link before termination in the electronics cavity. W
