Abstract
A tubular cable fitting which is capable of providing strain relief for Tubular Electric Cables (“TEC”) and is designed to protect end fittings from loss of circuit continuity. The TEC end fittings may be of fiber optic or electric type service.
Claims20
A strain relief assembly for protecting one or more wires, cables, or tubular control lines, comprising:
- a hollow tubular insulating jacket, wherein the hollow tubular insulating jacket comprises:
- an internal structural support for a wire, cable, or tubular control line.
A strain relief assembly for protecting one or more wires, cables, or tubular control lines, comprising:
- an elongated hollow tubular insulating member having a receiving aperture located at a first end thereof and an end fitting aperture located at a second end thereof, the tubular insulating member having an internal structural support for a portion of a wire, cable, or tubular control line extending through the receiving aperture at the first end of the tubular insulating member and into the end fitting aperture at the second end of the tubular insulating member;
- wherein the internal structural support is arranged and configured to receive a wire, cable, or tubular control line therein in a nonlinear configuration to prevent torsional, transverse, or tensional forces from being transferred from the wire, cable, or tubular control line outside the strain relief assembly to the portion of a wire, cable, or tubular control line at the end fitting aperture at the second end of the tubular insulating member.
