Conductive splint for fiber optic cables

A conductive splint for repairing a damaged metallic sheath of a fiber optic cable includes a C-shaped stabilization element that spans the damaged area and a conductive stabilization component that attaches to the C-shaped stabilization element and provides for electrical connection across the section of damaged sheath. The conductive stabilization component includes a pair of end clamps that have an inner barbed surface for penetrating into and contacting the metallic sheath, and a conductive brace that is coupled between the clamps, the combination of the clamps and brace forming an electrical path across the damaged section. A heat shrink blanket is used to encapsulate the combination of the C-shaped element and conductive stabilization component, preventing further corrosion in the damaged section.
