摘要：An underwater ocean bottom cable constructed of a series of axially alignedcable segments alternately arranged with sensor units. The sensor units include an outerhousing with an interior cavity in which a sensor module is suspended by a cradle. Vaneson the sensor module protrude through axially elongated openings in the outer housing

to dig into the seabed to provide good seismic coupling between the seabed andpressure sensors and motion sensors housed in the sensor module. The outer sensorhousing is split into complementary portions that clamp firmly onto the ends of adjacentcable segments. Stress members, such as high modulus fiber ropes, extend out the endsof adjacent cable segments. Axial channels formed in the intervening outer sensorhousing on opposite sides of the sensor module receive the stress members, which,along with the cradle, provide seismic isolation between the cable segments and thesensor modules.
