Google and Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica developed a way to use existing undersea fiber cables to detect seismic events. In their paper published in the journalScience, the group describes their test project involving a cable spanning the Atlantic Ocean. ...
led the experiment with the assistance of Craig Dawe of MBARI, which owns the fiber-optic cable. The cable stretches 52 kilometers (32 miles) offshore to the first seismic station ever placed on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, put there 17...

To get an overview about these worldwide infrastructure, Greg Mahlknecht shows a nice webmap on his site:http://www.cablemap.info/. Screenshot: www.cablemap.info In addition to the map you can download the raw data and get a list of cables....
On the cut once, splice twice theory: I don’t know about fiber, but with metal conductors you can “ping” the end of the cable. That’s how they figure where to go to do the repairs. In fact, I bet fiber cables include a few copper conductors for exactly that reason. ...
cable might contain copper, simpson said. it wouldn't be the first time someone cut a line trying to strike it rich. two years ago, a georgian woman struck a fiber optic cable while digging for copper, cutting off internet access to neighboring armenia for five hours. historically, however...
An electric cable and an 8-core optical fiber cable were used for connect between DAC and the electric room of the Aqua-Line to supply electric power to the HKMSDD segment and to transfer the collected data including the text and video data to the external server. The network speed was ...

A cable laying ship unloading the Marea cable between the US and Europe. Mark Malijan/Mark Malijan “Imagine a long garden hose, inside of which are very small tubes that house a very, very thin fiber pair,” Clatterbuck said. That hose is wrapped in copper, which conducts the direct cur...
