          2.1. The UJ connector of submarine optical fiber cable
          UJ is a technique of using a set of general equipment,instrument and
          standardized module to install and maintain all types of submarine optical
          fiber cable in submarine communication system.UJ contains different
          structural connection in the same manufacturer of submarine optical fiber
          cable,such as the connection between SA cable and DA cable in the Nanhai
          Sea's observational network of ZTT Group.Also,it can be suit for different
          manufacturers in the connection of submarine optical fiber cable.
          In LW-LW, for example, a complete UJ, usually consists of three parts, as
          shown in Figure 5, which are: ESK (END SPECIFIC KIT) for the cable
          end processing, to withhold which is steel wire armored inside, and to
          protect the fiber unit. CC (COMMON COMPONENT) is a general
          component, including strengthened parts. Tensile and compression of
