Abstract

1364112 Repeater housings STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd 23 Sept 1971 44387/71 Heading H2E A housing for a submarine cable repeater is generally similar to known housings in having a cylindrical outer casing 1 closed at the end by a bulkhead 2 which is clamped by a threaded ring 8 on to a sealing ring 5 of lead, and in having two 0-rings 9 in grooves 21 with between them petroleum jelly which is pressurized by adjustment of a screw 19 driving a piston 17 in a cylinder 10. The present invention is distinguished by particular choice of dimensions. The outer casing 1, in the region adjacent the 0-rings 9, is ¢-¥ inch thick. The gap between the casing 1 and the bulkhead 2 in this region is ¢-3 thousandths of an inch. At atmospheric pressure and 22C the jelly is pressurized to 2-4À5 tons/ in.2. These dimensions are stated to produce two results. Firstly, when the housing is transported through the tropics, at temperatures up to 45‹ C., the casing 1 flexes in a controlled fashion so that the jelly pressure does not rise too far. Secondly, when the housing is lowered to the sea bed, the water pressure causes the casing 1 to flex in a controlled fashion so as to compress the jelly and increase its pressure without the need for a separate intensifier.
