    摘要: A bend limiting device (100) for a cable (101') comprising at least one elongated sleeve member (104) with an entrance end (105) exhibiting an entrance opening (106) and an opposite exit end (107) exhibiting an exit opening (108) for the cable (101"), an outer abutment surface (109), disposed between the entrance end (105) and the exit end (107), for securing against a rigid surface (110) of a floating marine installation (103) or vessel, an axially th rough-going hole (111) between the entrance opening (106) and the exit opening (108) for accommodating a portion (101"') of the cable, and at least one clamping device (112) for securing said sleeve member (104) in a fixed position a round the cable portion (101"). The outer abutment surface (109) of the sleeve member (104) is configured to allow it to be secured against the rigid surface (110) by applying a pulling force (Fl) on the cable (101) in a direction from the abutment surface (109) to the rigid surface (110), as well as to be detached from the rigid surface (110) when the application of pulling force on the cable ceases,
