ABSTRACT:
A seismic sensor pod is provided for coupling to a seismic cable and establishing a substantially water tight connection between the seismic cable and a seismic sensor. The pod includes a housing for holding the seismic sensor. The forward section of the housing includes a substantially sealed chamber. One or more conductors from the seismic cable are cut and the cut ends are projected into the chamber. Electrical connection between the cut ends of the conductors and the seismic sensor is established by a connector member. The pod provides a water resistant pathway between the conductors of the seismic cable and the seismic sensor, and a streamlined housing to hold the seismic sensor.
