Internet and Electric Submarine Cable
A submarine cable is a type of cable designed to be used underwater., especially in the oceans and seas. There are two main types of submarine cables: internet submarine cable and electric submarine cable.
Submarine internet cables are cables that carry internet signals and data over long distances underwater.. These cables are used to connect different countries and continents, allowing people around the world to communicate and access the internet.
electric submarine cables, on the other hand, are used to transmit electrical energy through water. These cables are mainly used to connect islands and oil rigs., as well as to transmit energy from wind farms and hydroelectric plants located in the sea.
Both types of submarine cables are built with resistant and durable materials that can withstand pressure and marine currents.. Besides, submarine cables are protected by several layers of insulation and coatings to guarantee their integrity and safety.
