Abstract: A high-strength, electrically matched and constructionally simple anchor assembly is provided within a cable-repeater coupling for securing the front end of a submarine cable inner conductor within the coupling. The anchor member of the assembly includes a pair of centrally apertured, axially abutting discs formed from reinforced glass fibers, together with a metallic disc-like nut that abuts the front surface of the front-most disc. The stranded cable inner conductor terminates short of the discs, and is crimped within the rear end of a tube that extends through central apertures of the discs and which is affixed to the nut at its front end. The composite nut-disc member is embedded in a load-bearing cylindrical polyethylene body that is in turn captured within the anchor housing of the coupling.
