Epoxy-Resin Cable Terminations

Abstract

The general function of end fittings, also referred to as terminations is to allow the attachment of wire to a system in a manner that approaches 100 percent of the strength of the cable. This report addresses investigations made into the use of 'epoxy-resin' (epoxy) terminations. An initial investigation into the application of Epoxy-Resin Terminations, for end-fitting, to small diameter cables was conducted. Test samples were made using steel, titanium, and amorphous metal cables. Though some difficulty was encountered during termination installation, tensile testing produced results equal to cable strength. Recommendations to enhance installation, and provide broad base testing and evaluation are given.
