Underwater internet cables are being laid continuously on the ocean floor for the past few decades. Ocean fiber optic cables have been one of the most prominent and iconic usages of fiber optics for communicating over vast distances.
- The low loss of information
- The reliability
- The durability
is what makes undersea internet cables an attractive solution for telecoms, businesses, and governments to conduct their operations from continent to continent without any disruptions.

Overview
Fiber optic sensing has also become an attractive new opportunity in recent subsea cable projects. For example, in oil & gas drilling in open waters, fiber optic sensing technology can provide valuable metrics for the drilling operations under kilometers of water, rock, and soil.
Why Fiber Optics
Long Lifetime
Almost no maintenance over the whole lifetime.
Passive Sensor
No electrical power at the measurement point needed if used as a sensor.
Long Distance
Monitoring (50 km and more) of remote locations and objects, if used as a sensor.
Resists High Pressures and High Temperatures
Resists extreme temperatures from -269 to 700+ degrees
For Harsh and Explosive Environments
Resistant to corrosion, lightning, etc.
Immune to EMI
Electromagnetic interference
