Abandonment Cap
Abandonment Cap
ELFO Abandonment cap function as a dummy or loop box when you need to protect the fiber optical cable part of a umbilical while subsea storage. The product is installed to the umbilical before umbilical deployment and seals the optical fiber cables on the seabed. Multiple configurations for termination to various cables and optical fibers can be delivered based on existing design. The product can be delivered with only blinded and sealed optical fibers, or in looped configuration for advanced subsea testing.

Technical Description
The ELFO Abandonment cap is based on a modular design consisting of 3 main subassemblies. The outer tube protecting and seals the termination, the internal coupler box with fiber management and end lid including components for strain relief and sealing elements.
All components are produced in high quality materials with full traceability to certificates. Before start of production a cable verification test will be performed to verify all interfaces to the umbilical cable. As standard this includes testing of tension and torque forces the product is designed to withstand. All sealing barriers are leak tested and hyperbaric testing is performed to design pressure * safety factor. Optical performance shall be verified before and after testing.
During production and commissioning all sealing interfaces will be leak tested. Before installation all fiber terminations will be tested in accordance to your specific requirements.
Why choose ELFO?
With a configurable product based on standard components we can configure, build, test and deliver most abandonment caps on short notice. With the modular design we can do major parts of the assembly, internal termination work and testing inhouse. Our philosophy is to do the fiber splicing and handling in a controlled environment inhouse, and limit the work required on site.
