Making a Splice on an Electromechanical Cable
Editorial recovery of a procedure for making a splice on an electromechanical cable used in oceanographic instrumentation.
This post introduces the recovery of an older technical article about making a splice on an electromechanical cable used to power an oceanographic instrument.
The goal is to preserve the method, the points of attention and the illustrations, while reorganizing them as documentation that is easier to read and maintain.
Example of the final assembly of a CTD rosette connected to its electromechanical cable.
The dedicated documentation covers the main steps of the procedure:
- introduction and mechanical context
- bill of materials
- splice fabrication
- final assembly on the CTD rosette
- common faults and useful links
For reference, the original resource was published on the UAR191 IMAGO website on March 25, 2008 under the title “Réaliser une épissure sur un câble électroporteur”.
