Cable Housing

Cable Housing

The signals of undersea optical fiber communication cables used for international telephone transmission have been weakened as the signals go forward. In order to re-strengthen the signals, the repeaters are placed at certain intervals. The beryllium-copper is applied as the material of the repeater housing, which requires severe properties, such as corrosion-resistance against seawater and high-strength.
