AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Fiber-reinforced composite strength elements in overhead electrical cables are susceptible to fracture under high compressive forces during termination due to their lower ductility and elongation at break, leading to reduced strength in termination arrangements.
Method used
Incorporating a high tensile modulus liner, such as a steel liner, over the reinforcing element to reduce elongation stress by crimping a connector body and/or a conductive sleeve onto the steel liner, which protects the reinforcing element from tensile stresses.
Benefits of technology
The terminal arrangement significantly reduces elongation stress on the reinforcing element, preventing fracture and ensuring secure termination of fiber-reinforced composite strength members under high compressive forces.

Abstract
A terminal arrangement for securing an overhead electric cable and a method for securing an overhead electric cable. The terminal arrangement includes a longitudinally extendable sleeve with a high tensile modulus configured to receive a strength member of the overhead electric cable. When the connector body is crimped onto the strength member, the sleeve substantially reduces the tensile deformation experienced by the strength member and reduces the risk of fracture of the strength member.
