Armored Cable Termination

The Armored Cable Termination (ACT) is used to support a subsea electronics package using an armored data cable. The ACT shown below is designed to use a 1 inch diameter armored cable, and has a safe working load of 10 kips. The cable's armor wire is trimmed and formed to fit in the lower ACT section. 'Chockfast Grey' is used secure the armored wire into place. The upper and lower section are threaded together, and held in place with an Anti-Rotation Lock. The ACT can be modified for larger armored cable diameters if higher working loads are needed.
