  • Publication number: 20220373112
    Abstract: A cable connector attachment is provided, the attachment including at least a hose fitting, wherein said hose fitting is swedged into an associated cable and threaded into a CCP; and a set screw, wherein said set screw is inserted into the hose fitting to ensure the CCP cannot vibrate loose. Optimally the set screw is a tapered screw, so that greater force is applied to the terminus end. A braided hose is disposed in mechanical communication with a stainless hose fitting and secured using one or more fasteners. The hose is securely pressed completely inside the stainless hose fitting and then crimped, and a status signal is optimally provided by a crimp machine when a predefined crimp has been completed, thereby notifying the operator of such status. Optimally the crimp measures between about 1.1-about 1.2 inches.

  • Patent number: 7220067
    Abstract: The present invention provides a protector assembly and process for protecting a downhole connection of a line (e.g., fiber optic or electrical) from the wellbore environment. Inside the housing that provides protection from the wellbore environment is a subassembly that provides anchoring to prevent movement of the cables' internal components that may damage the spliced connection.

  • Patent number: 7216719
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a weld coupling and a thermal insulator. The weld coupling is adapted to be welded to an outer housing of a first cable segment to couple the first cable segment to a second cable segment. The thermal insulator is adapted to prevent thermal damage to a communication line of the first cable segment when the weld coupling is welded to the outer housing.
