At the time of his death in Foots Cray Place, Kent, on 7 July 1896, he controlled companies having a capital of 15 million sterling and owning 73,640 nautical miles (136,380 km) of cables [5] (one third of the cables in the world); these cables formed the base of the networks that years later developed into the World Wide Web.
Cable was employed by the Electro-Dynamic Company owned by financier Isaac Rice and William Woodnut Griscom.Rice was a financial supporter of inventor John Phillip Holland, whose Holland Torpedo Boat Company (the forerunner and precursor to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation) was developing a prototype submarine, Holland VI, for the United States Navy.
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 ).

USS Frank Cable (AS-40) at her home port of Apra Harbor, Guam in May 2002.. USS Frank Cable was designed as a submarine tender for Los Angeles-class submarines.The ship spent 1980 until 1996 as the repair ship for SUBRON 4 and 18 in Charleston, South Carolina, tending Sturgeon and Benjamin Franklin-class submarines.
It was once the longest submarine power cable in the world. [2] Budgeted at €550 million, and completed at a cost of €600m, [ 3 ] the NorNed cable is a bipolar HVDC link with a voltage of ±450 kV and a capacity of 700 MW.
The first stage of this project went in service in the year 2000 with a bipolar voltage of 250 kilovolts (kV) and rated to carry 1400 megawatts (MW). A second-stage upgrade to 500kV has been planned from the outset and the HV cable, DC switchgear and DC reactor are already rated for the higher voltage, but as of 2012 the upgrade has not been put into effect.
COBRAcable (COpenhagen-BRussels-Amsterdam cable) is a ±320 kV, 700 MW HVDC submarine power cable pair between Eemshaven, the Netherlands and Endrup near Esbjerg, Denmark. The cable is jointly owned by Energinet.dk and TenneT. Its purpose is to improve the European transmission grid and thus increase the amount of variable wind power in the ...
