[PSUBS-MAILIST] cable fittings

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Rick,
Emile tested the blue globe to something like 3000ft before the cable started to
extrude through. Then he & Carsten decided to add an extra on the inside.
Not all cable is the same so it would be hard to get a fixed number. And the
compression material is a plastic so is it going to degrade in salt water & 
sunlight. Easy & cheap enough to replace & they recommend replacing these
plastic inserts every time you undo the compression on the wire.
I used them on my ambient but are making my own through hulls for the current
build.
Alan

>>> Sorry guys for re asking about the fastener but I knew there were a lot more of you out there that hadn't chimed in yet with good input! Though I won't see more than around 170 psi, I need the extra rating for the 600' test dip.
