Patent ID: 7120087

Claim:
An electronics-carrying module in a seismic data acquisition cable including: an electronics carrier having access means for providing an easy-to-reach access to a wrap-around circuitry fitted inside a curved space within said electronics carrier; a pair of rigid end-fittings spaced apart axially by said electronics carrier for connecting to a section of said seismic data acquisition cable; an axial hole formed in said electronics carrier and said rigid end-fittings defining said curved space between said axial hole, said access means and said rigid end-fittings, said axial hole is formed for accommodating a cable with and uninterupted strength member along said seismic data acquisition cable through said electronics-carrying module; and an inner tube enclosing a major portion of said axial hole and having at least one opening thereon for connecting said wrap-around circuitry to said cable for both power and signal transmission.
