	Submarine communications cable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A submarine communications cable is a cable laid beneath the sea to carry telecommunications between countries.
		The speed of a signal through the conductor of a submarine cable is thus reduced.
		While laying a transatlantic telephone cable was seriously considered from the 1920s, a number of technological advances were required for cost-efficient telecommunications that did not arrive until the 1940s.

	Tinsley Precision Instruments Electroding Detector Model 5916 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Tinsley 5916 Electroding Detector is the ideal equipment for use on board ship when the electroding method is being employed for the detection of submarine cables buried or laid on the sea bed.
		A signal in the range of 4 Hz to 40 Hz is transmitted down the submarine cable by an Electroding Generator such as the Tinsley type 5915 unit.
		When the ship is in the vicinity of the cable area, the 5915 Electroding Generator is powered thus applying the low frequency signal to the cable under test.

	Future Communications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Submarine communications were once limited to those necessary to communicate mission support information and the minimal command and control that a submarine previously required.
		As submarines continue to conduct a variety of missions to include intelligence collection, Indications and Warning (I and W), anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, strike warfare, and mine warfare, they will have to be an integral part of networked sensors and platforms.
		The vision is to allow submarines to communicate without the current restrictions of depth and speed and with sufficient bandwidth to maximize the effectiveness of data and intelligence collected by the submarine, such that real-time connectivity and reach-back is achieved.

		One type of electric cable consists of a core protected by twisted wire strands and suitably insulated, especially when it is used to cross oceans undersea; a message transmitted by cable is known as a cablegram or cable.
		The first permanent transatlantic cable was laid in 1866 by Cyrus West Field, although demonstrations of its possibility had been made in 1858.
		The newest form of cable is the fiber-optic cable, developed in the 1970s.

		Thereafter, the cable design was improved, having a greater number of conductors, using new and better insulation and for protection from damage on the sea floor, the cable was covered with a series of spiral steel wires, forming an “armour.
		The development of underwater cable communications circuits continues to be expanded with the widening of the spectrum of transmitted frequencies and the increase in the number of communication channels.
		The appearance of communications satellites suspended further development of submarine cables for some time, but research, development and installation of these have since been reinitiated since it was discovered that submarine cables do not compete, but rather, supplement each other.

	History of the Atlantic Cable&Submarine Telegraphy -
		To cable historians, William Thomson, later knighted and eventually elevated to the peerage as Lord Kelvin, is a key figure in the field.
		Thomson's introduction to the cable industry is a Connections story: In 1854, Astronomer Royal George Airy, hoping to use the new cross-Channel cables to synchronize astronomical observations between London and Paris, but discouraged by the fuzzy signals through the cables, asked telegraph engineer Latimer Clark to investigate the problem.
		Faraday determined qualitatively that the cable was acting like a Leyden jar, storing electrical charge because of the proximity of the water to the insulated conductor and published a paper on the subject, but did not develope a rigorous theory.

		Submarine shore site facilities have the capability to be either transmitters, receivers, or both depending on their function and use within the radio frequency spectrum.
		To support the shift in submarine mission emphasis and to operate efficiently and cost effectively, the Submarine Operational Commander’s Command and Control facilities must be modernized and kept compatible with submarine shipboard and Joint Task Force C 2 systems.

		The cables must cross trenches, cliffs, mountains and faults, and in many places are buried beneath the ocean floor by cable plows, undersea tractors, trenchers and ROVs (Barth and Leben, 1999; Underwater Magazine, 2000).
		The cable attaching the towfish to the survey vessel also serves to transmit the sonar information to a processing unit on the ship, where the images are plotted on paper or a monitor.
		In deeper waters, where cable burial is not an issue, multibeam sonar (bathymetric) may be more useful as it would allow the installer to anticipate the lengths of fiber optic cable required as well as lengths of tow cables for the ROVs and other equipment.
