ABSTRACT:
A marine seismic streamer-cable section includes a plastic tubular jacket reinforced by tough, braided-fiber tapes embedded in the jacket wall. A termination fixture is fastened to each end of the cable section. The termination fixture includes a bulkhead, an untapered end of which fits snugly into the plastic jacket. The other end of the bulkhead is tapered and protrudes from the end of the jacket. Short lengths of the reinforcing tapes are exposed by stripping away some of the jacket wall. A cylindrical wedge grips the exposed tapes between the inner wall of the wedge and the tapered portion of the bulkhead. The tapes are doubled back over the outside of the wedge and are bound to the jacket and to the untapered end of the bulkhead by bands.
