DOUBLE-ARMORED CABLE
Submarine optical cables are high-performance communication cables designed for marine environments, used to stably and efficiently transmit optical and electrical signals in the underwater environment. The cables consist of a central optical unit, inner steel wires, copper tubes (for relay submarine cables), multiple protective layers, and special armor layers.

Core Advantages
- Outstanding compressive and tensile strength: The unique arched internal armor structure design gives the optical cable excellent compressive and tensile strength. Whether under the huge water pressure in the deep sea or during the laying and recovery process when subjected to tension, the internal optical fibers will not be damaged, ensuring the continuity of communication.
- High water pressure resistance and long lifespan: Using advanced materials and processes, it can withstand pressures up to 5000 meters deep. At the same time, after strict testing and optimization, the normal service life is not less than 25 years, reducing maintenance costs, and providing customers with a long-term and reliable communication solution.
- Efficient data transmission: Supports multi-fiber pair configuration to meet the demand for large-capacity data transmission. The low loss characteristic of the optical fiber enables the signal to remain stable during long-distance transmission, ensuring the high-speed and accurate transmission of data.
- Good insulation: Has excellent high-voltage insulation capability. Relay submarine cables can operate continuously and stably at normal working voltage for 25 years.
