Cable with Joints for the Connection of Cable Armour Non-Metallic Elements

The present disclosure relates to a cable comprising a cable core and an armor, the armor being formed by a plurality of consecutive sections of non-metallic tensile elements wound around the cable core, each section including a first non-metallic tensile element connected to a second non-metallic tensile element of the consecutive sections by a joint comprising a first socket and a second socket, each of said sockets comprising a flat body extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis (S) between a proximal end and a distal end and comprising an inner through bore between a proximal aperture at the proximal end and a distal aperture at the distal end, the first and second non-metallic tensile elements having an end portion being housed in the inner through bore of respectively the first and second socket by the proximal aperture and secured therein by a bonding material, and each inner through bore being shaped to translationally and rotationally lock the bonding material; an interconnecting device translationally and rotationally locked in the distal apertures of the first and the second sockets and allowing the sockets to relatively rotate exclusively around at least one rotation axis (R) perpendicular to a plane where the socket body longitudinal axes (S) of the first and the second sockets lie.
