Abstract
SAIC/MariPro was contracted by Alcatel TCC, Sydney, Australia, to install a 240 kilometer long submarine fiber optic cable system across Bass Strait in June, July, and August 1995. This eighteen-fiber cable system will provide telecommunication services between mainland Australia and Tasmania for customers of TELSTRA (formerly Telecom Australia). The submarine cable system was successfully deployed along the proposed cable route. A cross-section of the cable is shown
