What is Underwater Fiber Cable? How does Underwater Fiber Cable Work?

What is underwater cable? Underwater fiber cable offer the advantages of high reliability, safety and capacity, as well as cost-effectiveness, on major routes. Underwater fiber cable dominate international voice calls and data traffic transmission. This article will share some knowledge of underwater cable.

What is Underwater Fiber Cable?

Underwater optical cables are optical cables laid underwater across rivers, lakes, beaches, etc. The laying environment conditions of this type of optical cable are much worse than pipeline laying and direct burial laying. Fortunately, the structure of underwater optical cables is strong. And it can withstand disasters such as seawater erosion and marine earthquakes. It has high stability and reliability. In order to meet the needs of international voice calls. The transmission speed of underwater optical cables is generally very high. It can transmit tens of TBS of data per second. Another feature of underwater optical cables is that they are highly concealed and are not easily intercepted or interfered with.

How does underwater fiber cable work?

Underwater cable have a multi-layer steel wire or steel belt armor structure. According to the hydrogeological conditions of the river, the structure of the inner and outer sheaths also needs to be considered. Toem can provide customized underwater optical cables according to your needs. For example, in rocky soils, scouring seasonal riverbeds. Fiber optic cables are subject to wear and high tension. Not only thick steel wires are required for armoring, but even double-layer armoring is required. The construction method should also be selected according to the river width, water depth, flow rate, riverbed, flow rate, river soil, etc.

Advantages of underwater cable

Most fiber optic cables are installed by overhead, pipeline and direct burial. However, when it comes to places like rivers, lakes and beaches. The traditional method of laying optical cables will require a lot of optical cables and installation costs. Underwater cable connect both ends by laying underwater. Which perfectly solves this problem. It saves a lot of fiber optic cables and simplifies the laying. In addition, since the fiber optic cable is under rivers and lakes. It will not be affected by wind and most animals on the ground. In addition, underwater cables have high transmission capacity, high reliability, high safety, long service life and low maintenance costs. Underwater fiber cable have good anti-extrusion properties. Because its armor is heavy, it provides the cable with better tensile strength. Strong anti-interference ability and good confidentiality.

Application of underwater cable

Underwater cables are used in the telecommunications industry and offshore oil and gas industry. In addition, they are also used in marine observation networks, local area networks (LANs), video, data, CATV and inter-office communication applications.

Summary

With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous development of the market, underwater cable will continue to play a more important role in the future.
