METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SECURELY ACCESSING AND MANAGING AGGREGATED SUBMARINE CABLE SYSTEM INFORMATION
Aggregated, submarine cable system information is securely stored, accessed and managed. Security is assured through the use of multi-factor authentication that is compliant with National Institutes of Standards And Technology and US. Government Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements. Further, real-time audit logs are generated as end-users access controlled unclassified information.
HVDC Power Cable With Water-Blocking Capability
A high voltage DC power cable designed for voltages of 320 kV or higher, including: a multi-wire conductor, an inner semiconducting layer arranged around the multi-wire conductor, the inner semiconducting layer forming a screen layer for the multi-wire conductor, a solid insulation system arranged around the inner semiconducting layer, and a water-blocking compound configured to restrict water migration into the high voltage DC power cable.
Lead-free water barrier
A lead-free water barrier suited for dynamical submarine high voltage power cables has a water barrier including a laminate structure. The laminate structure has a metal foil having a lower and an upper surface area. A first layer of a thermoplastic semiconducting polymer is laid onto the first adhesive layer, and a second layer of a thermoplastic semiconducting polymer is laid onto the second adhesive layer. The laminate structure is thermally joined by a heat treatment.

Insulated submarine cable
The invention relates to insulated submarine cables including conductive cores (3a, 3b) and insulating material (5a, 5b) surrounding the conductive cores (3a, 3b). Such an insulated cable includes a first length and a second length. The cable has a roughly constant core (3a) cross-sectional area A1 and a roughly constant insulating material (5a) thickness T1 along the first length, and a different roughly constant core (3b) cross-sectional area A3 and/or a different roughly constant insulating material (5b) thickness T2 along the second length. The cable may include one or more other lengths which join the first length and the second length to one another.
