Manual for Field Splicing of Harbor Defense Cables.
Abstract
The Chesapeake Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Ocean Engineering and Construction Project Office has in storage some 325 miles of harbor defense submarine cable. This cable ranges from single conductor coaxial cable to sixteen conductor cable and widespread use is anticipated by this organization and other government activities engaged in ocean construction projects. The available cable is stored on reels. For most projects use, field splicing of the cable will be required. Frequently, outside experts must be called in to perform field splices during the course of construction activities. The Ocean Engineering and Construction Project Office has frequently found itself in the latter situation and has therefore undertaken the preparation of this field splicing manual for its own use and for the use of other government activities and contractors that may be involved in ocean construction projects where cable splicing in the field is required. It has been found that these splicing techniques resulted in splices having the electrical, mechanical, and structural integrity essential to withstanding the rugged conditions encountered in the ocean construction environment.
