   Each caisson is supported by 112 suspension cables (for counterbalance) and 32 control cables (for lifting/lowering), each of 85 mm (3.3 in) diameter. [1] The mass of the counterbalance was calculated to keep the tension in each of the control cables above 100 kN (22,000 lb f ) at all times. [ 1 ]

7. Submarine communications cable - Wikipedia
