OVERVIEW
L-3 MariPro has developed a modular cable repair and jointing
system based on our successful ship-of-opportunity installation
concept. A purpose-built, fully outfitted repair and jointing
van can be easily transported to a depot and mobilized aboard
a vessel. The van is a 6.1 meter, (20 ft) ISO container and
is equipped with tools and supplies for on-site cable jointing
and repair operations. Available equipment includes fusion
splicers, OTDR’s, optical power meters, UQJ/UJ tool
kits, swage crimpers, helium leak detectors, injection mold
machines, presses, epoxy and urethane encapsulation potting
materials, etc. This reduces costs by maintaining a minimum
suite of equipment tailored specifically to the cable recovery,
jointing, and/or repair task at hand.
CAPABILITIES
L-3 MariPro maintains a staff of qualified jointers and offers
jointing services for a wide variety of custom cable joints
and mechanical termination assemblies. Innovative custom
designs have been developed for deep ocean applications
with typical life spans of 20 years or greater. In addition,
application of Universal Quick Joints (UQJ) and other commercially
available Universal Joints (UJ) are also a capability.
The proprietary designs include mechanical, copper and
fiber terminations. Extreme long life designs include water
block sealing on multiple levels of the cable including
the jacket, copper and fiber conductors. Cables and components
that have been jointed include SX, SD, SL, multiple armoring,
loose tube and K-tube. L-3 MariPro also specializes in
jointing cables of different construction types to each
other. |
