Abstract

Submarine cable systems of a new design have recently been installed between Florida and Panama, between New Jersey and Cornwall, England, and between Hawaii and Japan. Using a single lightweight armorless cable for most of the route, with electron tube amplifiers encased in rigid containers at 20-mile intervals, this type of system will carry 128 channels in each direction. More detailed discussion of cable, repeaters, and power equipment will be found in companion articles. This article outlines the system development objectives, gives an over-all system description, and describes the equalization plan and terminal equipment.
