Deep sea laying systems represent the leading market segment due to their ability to handle large-capacity fibre optic cables, operate under extreme pressure, and execute long-distance installation with minimal signal attenuation. LS Marine Solutions plans to build the world's largest submarine cable laying vessel to participate in more large-scale HVDC and offshore wind power projects. These cables can be for telecommunication or electric power transmission, each with unique usability, size. Tokyo, Japan, March 21, 2024 - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) and NTT Corporation (NTT) today announced that they have successfully conducted a first-of-its-kind transoceanic-class 7,280km transmission experiment using a coupled 12-core multicore fiber (*1), which consists of 12 optical signal. With a cable pulling system from Katimex®, laying cables is easy, quick and precise. Difficulties in using conventional duct rodders are finally a thing of the past.
