ABSTRACT:
The splice device for splicing together two under-sea cables, each of which has a bundle of optical fibers protected inside a protective tube and armoring wires stranded on an inner sheath covering the protective tube, includes a strong support mounted on the protective tubes for protecting the two bundles of fibers, which bundles are welded together. In the splice device the support is locked on the protective tubes between the inner sheaths of the cables, and it receives firstly the end portions of the armoring wires, tensioned longitudinally in one layer on its periphery, and secondly an outer metal sleeve crimped on said support and on the armoring wires between the support and the sleeve.
