ABSTRACT BEND LIMITER A bend limiter 4 suitable for use on submarine cables comprises a plurality of annular segments 7 coupled together to form a tube. The annular segments 7 are coupled by means of bolts 8 whose shafts 16 run substantially along the length of the bend limiter 4 rather than transverse to it. The arrangement is such that the head 14 of any bolt 8 lying outermost of the curve of the bend limiter 4, when the bend limiter 4 is at maximum bend, is fully seated. Embodiments of the invention find particular application in limiting the bend of a submarine optical fibre cable 1 in the region of a joint with a repeater 2.
