In 1988, the world's first inter ocean submarine cable system (TAT-8) was built, bringing international communications into a new period. Submarine optical cables have the advantages of large capacity, high communication quality, low cost, safety and reliability. They have become the most important means of global communication. There are now more than 230 extant systems, with a total length of more than one million kilometers. A wealth of experience has been accumulated regarding their construction. Nevertheless, there is a lack of systematic exposition of submarine optical cable engineering. Submarine Optical Cable Engineering fills this void. The book presents a summary and exposition from authors practically engaged in the submarine optical cable engineering field. It systematically discusses the theory and practice of engineering site selection, route survey, laying construction, system maintenance, safety in operation and information management, for the long-term development and progress of science and technology. Describes and summarizes the theory and practice of submarine optical cable engineering site selection, route survey, laying construction, system maintenance, safety in operation and information managementPresents analysis derived from active engagement in the construction of submarine optical cables engineering for decadesEmbodies the theory of marine science and engineering practice, combining multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary combination of knowledge and international perspective on the characteristics and the discussion of theory, technology and method with international modern level standardsIntroduces the international submarine cable protection organizations, relevant law and the law of the seaLists representative submarine cable laying ships at various stages of development, accompanied by maps of northwest Pacific and global submarine cable system distributions INDICE: 1.
