  • Spliced cable with overmolded water proof coating and method for making the same
    Patent number: 8502072
    Abstract: A cable includes an outer jacket of polyethylene surrounding a plurality of conductive wires. Each one of the plurality of insulated conductive wires comprises a conductive core and an insulating layer surrounding the conductive core, the insulating layer being made of cross-linked polyethylene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 28, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 6, 2013
    Assignee: General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Frederick Paul Gehrke, Dennis Paul Dyer, James Ronald Baughan

  • Hermetic seal on metallized fiber optics
    Patent number: 7430357
    Abstract: A fiber optic cable includes multiple optical fibers extending from a low-pressure environment into a high-pressure environment. At a junction region, the optical fibers are substantially free of any coating, while the fibers include a coating in the low- and high-pressure regions. The fibers are metallized in the junction region, and an epoxy layer is bonded to the metallization. A protective, conductive housing is positioned around the cable. The fibers in the low-pressure region are coupled to communications electronics, and the pattern is repeated as needed to form a needed length of communication cable.
