[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first connecting member 3 may be a bolt, so that the clamping force of the armored steel wire 100 can be adjusted by adjusting the tightening degree of the bolt to ensure that the tensile strength of the armored steel wire 100 is not affected.

[0030] It should be noted that the fixing fixture provided in the embodiment of the utility model is used to fix most of the armored steel wires in the armor layer of the submarine cable.

[0031] The fixing clamp for the armored steel wire of the submarine cable provided in the embodiment of the utility model can clamp the armored steel wire between the first fixing piece and the second fixing piece by arranging a first fixing piece, a second fixing piece and a first connecting piece, thereby ensuring that the tensile strength of the armored steel wire is not affected, thereby meeting the use requirements of the armored steel wire in an underwater working environment.

The first connecting member 3 connects the annular boss 13 and the second annular member to fix the armored steel wire 100. The end of the armored steel wire 100 bypasses the annular boss 13 and is laid outside the first annular member. The third connecting member 4 is sleeved on the outside of the first annular member to fix the end of the armored steel wire 100 between the third connecting member 4 and the first annular member, thereby enhancing the clamping ability of the armored steel wire 100 through radial clamping, thereby improving the overall tensile strength.

[0050] In order to ensure that the maximum tension that the underwater joint box can withstand can meet the requirements of the actual underwater working environment, a firm and reliable fixing clamp is required to fix the armored steel wire 100 to meet the tensile strength requirements of the underwater joint box. In an embodiment of the utility model, the first fixing member 1 and the second fixing member 2 are both annular members, and the first fixing member 1 and the second fixing member 2 can have various forms, such as: the second fixing member 2 can be sleeved on the outside of the first fixing member 1, and the armored steel wire 100 is fixed between the first fixing member 1 and the second fixing member 2 by using two circumferential surfaces; optionally, the first fixing member 1 and the second fixing member 2 can also be arranged relative to each other, and the armored steel wire 100 is fixed between the two by using their end faces.
