	Bridging the Strait of Gibraltar
		Land Section Cable The cables for the two land sections of the interconnect have a copper core cross section of 2.5 sq inches (1600 sq mm) and are similar in construction to the submarine cables except that these cables are unarmored.
		The submarine cables were manufactured at the Pirelli factory in Arco Felice, near Naples, Italy, and at the Alcatel factory near Calais, France, before being transferred to large rotating storage plants close to the dockside landing piers adjacent to each plant.
		The cable was buried at a depth increasing from 3 ft (1 m) at a distance of 260 ft (80 m) off shore to 10 ft (3 m) at the on-shore-jointing bay.

	Cable Paper Abstracts
		Today, the cable installer has a true representation of what is happening to the cable and bodies throughout the water column and touchdown and, more importantly, he has the capability to control the seabed slack and placement of the cable.
		Submarine cable installation quantity is dramatically increasing, new ships and new personnel are being used to meet this demand and today’s lighter cables are more difficult to install.
		The cable path on the north (Maui) side of the channel imposed severe restrictions on the accuracy of cable placement on the bottom (±11.5m), while on the south (Kohala) side of the channel, very low cable bottom tensions were required to minimize the possibility of laying unacceptably long cable spans.

	Oversimplified Overview of Undersea Cable Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		It was standard for cable systems, especially the longest and most expensive ones, to be planned, financed and operated by carriers "consortia", which often had as many as 20-30 members, each contributing towards the investment in a well-defined way, depending on their foreseen requirement for capacity.
		The main source of problems with submarine cables comes from external sources such as fishing and anchors, and the damage is either via compression, when a heavy weight hits a cable, or via dragging, and, in the limit, breakage.
		Since the early 1980s submarine cable has been buried to a depth of typically 1 meter in areas where threats from anchors or fishing can be anticipated, and, indeed they avoid anchorages used by deep-sea vessels as much as possible.

		Submarine telecommunications cables are the underwater trunk network connections linking the Australian telecommunications network with other continents and linking places within Australia separated by water.
		Submarine cables carry about 99 per cent of Australian international telecommunications traffic and are estimated to be worth more than $5 billion per annum to the national economy.
		The Government is concerned about the lack of security for international submarine fibre optic telecommunications cables, which are vulnerable to damage from several sources, particularly some kinds of fishing, anchoring and dredging.

	EPA: Federal Register: Installing and Maintaining Commercial Submarine Cables in National Marine Sanctuaries
		The types of issues that are evaluated in seeking necessary permits for a proposed submarine cable project include, but are not limited to: cable route planning, cable installation (e.g., burial), operation, maintenance and repairs, and removal.
		Laying cable on the seabed and cable repair could potentially result in the incidental taking of marine mammals due to the elevated noise levels and vessel traffic associated with the laying of cable and entanglement of whales in the cable.
		For the purpose of a proposed submarine cable to transit the coastal zone including a portion of a national marine sanctuary, several permits or approvals may be required (e.g., ACOE 404, NMSA permit or other authorization, and state permits and Federal consistency certification), each requiring federal or state environmental review.

		In contrast to slotted-core tubes, the optical fibers in MINISUB™ cables are not coupled to the cable's outer structure.
		This prevents fiber damage during cable handling and laying and thus guarantees optimal fiber performance over the life of the cable.
		The appropriate cable type for each segment of the customer's cable route is specified in straight-line diagrams and power budgets developed on the basis of the geophysical data collected during a pre-laying marine survey.
