UNARMOURED SUBMARINE CABLE FOR DEEP-SEA CARRIER TELEPHONY,

Abstract

An unarmoured type of deep-sea coaxial cable, with the strength member inside the inner conductor and an external plastic sheath, was proposed in 1951. It gives increased circuit capacity and permits the laying of repeaters in rigid housings for two-way operation. After development and trials, the new cable was chosen for the deep sections of the Canadian transatlantic telephone cable, due for completion in 1961 as the first link in a proposed Commonwealth system around the world. This paper describes the advantages, development and manufacture of the cable, and reviews future possibilities. (Author)
