Abstract: The present invention relates to a subsea fibre-optic penetrator comprising a plurality of through-going optical fibres (1) and a metallic main body (3) with at least one through bore (31). According to the invention the optical fibres (1) are affixed in the main body (3) by cast glass material (2). The invention also relates to a method for providing a subsea penetrator with a plurality of through-going fibres.
Abstract: A connection device for cables having an elongated, cylindrical body with first and second ends, a termination interface member attached to each end of the elongated cylindrical body, wherein the elongated, cylindrical body is made of a flexible, cylindrical substrate member extending between the termination interfaces, with a plurality of elongated tension members helically wound about the exterior of the flexible substrate member, the ends of the tension members being attached to respective termination interface members.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a seismic cable (3) comprising at least two sensor nodes (4), the cable being adapted to lie permanently on a seabed (5). By covering each sensor node (4) and a length of the cable (3) connecting the sensor nodes (4) with a flexible protective socket (7), there is obtained a leak-tight connection, whereby penetration of water and/or moisture into the components of the sensor node (4) is not permitted.

Abstract: A bend stiffener comprising a modular arrangement of alternating disks of rigid material and flexible material, each disk having a center hole arranged in axial alignment with the center holes of adjacent disks. The axially-aligned disks are arranged intermediate an end plate and a front plate, and are sandwiched together by one or more tensioned wires or other such elongated elements passing from the end plate to the front plate. Either or both the end plate or the front plate contain termination means for connection to a structure, such as for example bolts, threads latches or other locking mechanism.
