Abstract
Subsea cables have been used across the oceans since 1866, providing essential and reliable communications. Their development has fostered major advancements in international communications. Since the introduction of the first telephone cable (TAT 1) in 1956, cable usage has grown exponentially. Following the development of the first fiberoptic cable (TAT 8) that was laid in 1988, under-sea cables now transmit ninety-five percent of all telephone and internet traffic. Enhanced subsea cable performance has met the demand of a worldwide communication system that has grown exponentially, especially since the internet’s growth. Reliable subsea cable’s performance ensures the reliable cost-effective communication that underlies corporate finance and international trade.
