Abstract :
A repeaterless undersea cable system spanning 150 km between a shore site and an off-shore floating platform is to be installed early in 1985. The system uses single-mode fibers to carry data at a line rate of 3.088 Mbit/s. Laser transmitters operating at 1.55 μm and p-i-n receivers complete the optical system. This paper discusses system parameters and performance, and both terminal and undersea equipment.
