| Abstract: | A continuous length of 30 km optical fibre submarine cable was successfully manufactured and laid on the sea bed about 1000 m deep. After the sea trial of 17 months, the cable was recovered from the sea bed. No significant degradation was observed in the optical loss of the recovered cable. |
