How undersea cables are laid
Ғылым және технология
Recently there was a disruption on the SEA-ME-WE 4 cable connecting SEACOM to London through the Mediterranean Sea.
Due to this we had various questions asking us exactly how undersea cables are laid. This short video explains the process SEACOM took while laying the undersea cable.

Yes indeed.. in 1850 first telegraph cable was layed between London and Bombay ( now Mumbai ) and that must have been an adventurous, treachourously hazardous, exciting and visionary exercise

Wow
Thanks for this documentary.
HOW did they plant the cables along the sea floor bed across the ENTIRE ocean? how did they get that deep all the way down past the depths of Mt Everest? If they done that how have they not scowered the entire ocean bed floor .

They lay the cables across very specific paths and make sure they avoid difficult terrains. So before laying the cable they examine only shortest, safest and most convenient routes from one continent to another. The routes are discovered through previous sea voyages and other expeditions. But I understand your question and the awe that comes with it! No one can truly examine or reach the depths of the ocean, so when it comes to laying cables they will stick to what they know and avoid what they do not know!

They do need regular maintenance.
tyco reliance? i remember this vessel came to long island bahamas a few years ago to lay down fibre optic cable.. the thing is huge! and it just sits there with dynamic positioning
Nice
how did they do this in 1850

This sounds really wonderful - then could you explain why ISP's in South Africa at least once a year report that the Seacom cable is 'down'? If the cables are buried how do they keep getting damaged? Seems Seacom is the most unreliable fiber cable system in the world based on the amount of downtime we experience. Wacs seems far more reliable.
Same basic principles, but the ships have evolved over time. Compare the cableship in the video to, say, the 'Monarch' launched in 1945, or the CS 'Edward Wilshaw'.
In the 1800s they were doing this?

ShoRyuKen78 no they only burry the cable close to shore to keep it from getting damaged. it's also thicker towards the shore and once it gets out to open ocean it's layers that protect it kinda thin out because it does not require the same protection as it does towards the coast.
how is this allowed?
Reading this makes me sad... I have 25Mbps (average) and peak up to 200Mbps at times. Japan internet FTW!
GREAT. NOW WE CAN HAVE INTERNET ACCESS IN DESERTED ISLANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN. ABOUT F"IN TIME!

I can't believe this is true, it's just too ridiculous. Same with harmful rays coming from the sun, same with wireless internet. It's beyond my comprehension. All these things are just magic.

hi
About 13 Mbps and I pay $37.50 per month. I'm from Australia. I feel bad for your country. It looks like it has a way to go to get good infrastructure. But good luck on your move to Japan.

@@Ollied True but that was in 2014 and the country has now graduated to 50 Mbps which is what the most residents are on. A few are on 100, 250 and 1000. At the time they said no to lines capable of that for most. Political interference. But now this is starting to change and lines are slowly being upgraded over the next several years.
