ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A finite length, monolithic, one-piece fairing element is provided which is a snap-on, foil-shaped, element of streamlined hydro- dynamic shape, having an outer wall formed of high strength material, the fairing being symmetrical about its central longitudinal axis, and adapted to be associated with a plurality of similar such fairing elements in end-to-end abutting relation on a cable. The fairing element includes a hollow rounded nose portion within the cable is adapted to be disposed. A spring tail portion is provided by a slit in the tail thereof along the central longitudinal axis. A hollow expandible channel is provided symmetrical about the central longitudinal axis interconnecting the spring tail portion and the hollow nose portion, and through which the cable is adapted to be urged from its entry at the tail portion to its lodging at the hollow rounded nose portion. An inner wall section made of that high- strength material is spaced from the outer wall of the substantially hollow fairing element by a plurality of ribs of that high-strength material thereby defining the hollow expandible channel and also a double wall section only along the flanks of the fairing between the nose portion and the tail portion. The fairing element thus permits easy assembly. In addition the thin but double walled snap-on fairing element substanti- ally eliminates distortion of the side walls due to hydrodynamic flow pressure while keeping the section light.
