14. Product Overview Product of Interest: Undersea Fiber Optic Cable • Undersea Fiber Optic Cable operates under submarine cable systems that consist of a communication cable laid on the sea-bed between cable landing stations (CLS) on the land to carry telecommunication signals across stretches of the ocean. Undersea Fiber optic cables are used to transfer secured data through international traffic. • The cables offer highly secure, reliable and very high-capacity telecommunication links between numerous countries across the globe. The transmission quality of an undersea fiber optic cable is significantly better than the one offered through the satellite. Undersea fiber optic cables are only a few inches thick and carry only a few optical fibers. Yet they have transmission capacities of terabits per second (Tbps).

15. Product Overview Product of Interest: Undersea Fiber Optic Cable • Loose Tube: The loose-tube cables are mostly used cables which are specifically designed for harsh outdoor environments. They protect the fiber core, cladding, and coating by enclosing everything within semi-rigid protective sleeves or tubes. In loose-tube, cables that hold more than one optical fiber, each individually sleeved core is bundled loosely within an all-encompassing outer jacket. • Ribbon Tube: The ribbon fiber optic cable is generally a ribbon of optical fibers, which is formed into a flat strip. This is done by manufacturing a series of individual optical fibers and laying them flat and bonding them to each other. Using this technology as many as 24 optical fibers can be put together. The fibers are typically placed side by side forming a flat ribbon. Ribbon cable has been around for so many decades, however, the use case for it is becoming more widely accepted and adopted. • Micro Loose Tube: The micro loose tube cables were firstly manufactured in Europe as the innovative approach for installing numerous optical networks for the congested duct environments. These miniaturized micro loose tube cables, with increased fiber counts per cross-sectional areas, could be installed with less cost and disruption than a rip-and-replace solution. Micro loose tube cables can act as a bridge option for lower fiber counts (from 12 to 288 fibers) that can scale up in the future with minimal installation cost. • Others: Others include Tight Buffer Tube, Metal Tube, etc.

16. Product Overview Product of Interest: Undersea Fiber Optic Cable • Cross-Linked Polyethylene: The cross-linked polyethylene insulation is a better barrier than uncross-linked polyethylene of similar crystallinity. The insulation is a thermosetting resin with three types of cross-linking: peroxide cross-linking, radiation cross-linking, and silane cross-linking. The polymer can be effectively recycled if only the cross-linking points are decomposed. From peroxide cross-linked polyethylene, the cross-links are selectively removed by using supercritical water without severe decomposition of the backbone chains. • Oil-Impregnated Paper: The oil-impregnated insulation paper has been widely used in transformers because of its low cost and desirable physical and electrical properties. The insulation paper is made up of natural cellulose and can be operated in the high-voltage environment. To give the insulator the adequate dielectric strength, the condenser insulation is saturated (impregnated) with oil. The type of oil used is almost always mineral oil (the same oil that is used for power transformers and switchgear). • Resin-Impregnated Paper: The resin impregnated paper (RIP) is a term used for dry bushings in which the main insulation consists of a core wound from crepe paper, which is then impregnated with a curable resin. The outer insulation is a composite insulator with silicone sheds or a porcelain insulator. The RIP insulator type is a type of insulating material that has been used in high voltage bushings and other equipment since 1960. The insulator has resin-rich and void-free structure which leads to extremely superior voltage withstand characteristics. • Others: Others include silicon gel, buffering plastic, etc.
