A multi-gimbal configured transition protectively interfaces a mooring and
communication cable to a communication ocean buoy. The transition
interface contains a segmented, flexible sheath formed of a plurality of
pivotally interconnected gimbal rings having mutually adjacent interior
apertures through which one or more communication link members pass.
Successive gimbal rings are orthogonally pivotally interconnected with one
another so as to make the flexible sheath flexible in three dimensions.
Upper ends of one or more communication link members are connectable with
a communication cable connection fixture of the buoy. Lower ends of the
communication link members are connectable to communication cable terminal
connectors of a terminal end of the mooring cable.
