 Breakthrough
            Advances in Cable Termination Technology (Paper)
 Abstract – New
            molding materials and technology lead to breakthroughs
            in terminating and splicing cables for harsh environments.
            Simplicity is key – simple surface preparation and
            no primers, even for substrates of polyethylene, polyolefin,
            polyurethane,
            and rubber. The new technology provides high moisture and
            chemical resistance, reliability, cost reductions and faster
            turn-around.
            True water blocking for deep sea deployment is achieved,
            even for on-board ship repairs of looded cables. Examples
            of results in
            naval and marine applications illustrate that the versatility
            achieved in design engineering and application is extraordinary
            (4 pages).
