Abstract :
The first 6000 m deep sea trial of a 1.55 μm optical fibre submarine cable system was successfully conducted in the Pacific Ocean, near Torishima Island, in January 1988. By using 1.55 μm loss-minimised single-mode fibre cables and submerged fully monolithic Si-IC regenerators with DFB lasers, excellent transmission performances at 140, 280 and 565 Mbit/s were obtained through 150 km repeater spacings, respectively
