ABSTRACT:
A cable fairing to reduce the "strumming" of a tow cable comprising a pluity of tabs or stubs, having a height radially of the cable, less than the cable diameter, extruded onto the armor sheath of the cable. The stubs are integrally formed in a thermal-setting plastic sheath in a spiral pattern of small angle along the length of the cable. The spiral pattern is reversed at periodic intervals, or two sets of tabs are provided and arranged in opposite-hand spiral patterns criss-crossing within the same cable length.
