Optical fiber submarine cable
An optical fiber submarine cable, which is provided with at least one coated optical fiber, a power supplying, pressure resisting layer of a pipe-like configuration, a tension resisting wire layer formed of a conductive material of relatively low conductivity and disposed in close contact with the power supplying, pressure resisting layer of the pipe-like configuration, and an insulator layer disposed around the tension resisting wire layer. The power supplying, pressure resisting layer is formed as at least one inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is formed as a single layer or composite layers by forming a tape-like good conductor material into a pipe-like configuration with its joint made a mere butt, or by assembling together a plurality of pressure resisting material segments equally divided in the circumference direction for at least one layer of the inner layer and having housed the above-mentioned at least one coated optical fiber in an optical fiber housing space defined centrally of the inner layer. The outer layer is formed by winding a metal tape on the inner layer.
