            Abstract : 
Different cables are discussed with respect to hydrogen pressure. Within a few years a pressure of one bar or more can be reached, when leaks appear in the water-barriers, or when metal armouring is used without fully-tight barriers. More open constructions of armouring wires are suggested as a cheap solution for the latter.
