| Abstract: | This paper describes important studies necessary to design submarine optical fiber cables. These include a study for deciding the optimum single-mode fiber parameters to suppress losses during cabling, cable laying, and so on. It also includes a study on the necessary fiber proof test conditions to prevent fiber breakage during cable handling, that is, during cable laying and recovery and to assure long-term fiber reliability. Submarine optical fiber cable sea trial results are also stated for cables designed applying these studies. |
