Submarine Power Cable Market Overview
A submarine power cable is a transmission cable for holding electric power below the surface of the water. These are called "submarines" because they generally carry electric power beneath salt water (seas, arms of the ocean, straits, etc.). Still, it is also possible to use submarine power cables beneath fresh water (large lakes and rivers).
