| NOTAS: | "A vital part of today's worldwide connectedness, submarine cable systems allow for the delivery of electrical power, communication signals, and data across large maritime stretches. This executive summary highlights the many applications and sectors that depend on submarine cable systems for their operations by providing an overview of major market categories such as Dry Plant, Wet Plant, Cable Armour, Transmission, Services, and End-User. The onshore facilities connected to submarine cable networks are included in the Dry Plant category. These facilities play a crucial role in maintaining smooth cable operations by housing crucial machinery including power conversion and transmission units. The Wet Plant portion, on the other hand, concentrates on the system's submerged parts, including as the actual undersea cables and the connections they make to land-based equipment. The Double Armoured Optical Fibre and Single Armoured Optical Fibre cable types are distinguished by the Cable Armour category. While SA cables provide a more affordable option with a single layer of armour, DA cables are stronger and better suited for demanding applications thanks to an additional layer of armour. Submarine cable systems enable the transfer of both electrical power and communication messages, serving a dual function in terms of transmission. Energy may be distributed between land masses and offshore installations thanks to electric power transmission, enabling sectors like offshore wind energy production and offshore oil & gas...." |
