Submarine Optical Fiber Cable
Submarine optical fibre cables combine optical fibres with protective cable construction for underwater installation; armour and system configuration depend on the route and operating environment.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Submarine Optical Fiber Cable (also known as submarine communication cable) is an assembly similar to an electrical cable, but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed. Submarine cable is laid on the sea floor, used to set up telecommunications between countries.
