A submarine power cable is a transmission cable for carrying electric power below the surface of the water. [1] These are called "submarine" because they usually carry electric power beneath salt water (arms of the ocean , seas , straits , etc.) but it is also possible to use submarine power cables beneath fresh water (large lakes and rivers ).

A cable landing station may or may not be required, depending on whether, for example, the submarine cable requires power in order to provide power to submarine repeaters or amplifiers. The voltages applied to the cables can be high—3,000 to 4,000 volts for a typical trans-Atlantic telecommunications cable system, and 1,000 volts for a cross ...
