About the Submarine Fiber Cable Market
A submarine fiber cable with high-capacity communication capability is an essential wireline communication medium between two continents, countries, or islands. Most submarine fibers use the optical amplification technology to carry high-speed data traffic across regions. The length of the submarine fiber cable varies over a distance of few kilometers to more than 35,000 km. Most submarine fiber cable projects take several months or years for completion. At present, most submarine fiber cables have a capacity of 10-40 Gbps. The adoption of 100 Gbps high-speed submarine fiber cables started only after 2010. Owing to their high-speed capacity, these fiber cables carry a huge amount of data traffic every day. In 2015, more than 97% of global data traffic was carried through submarine fiber cables, with the remaining 3% carried through satellite systems.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global submarine fiber cable market to grow at a CAGR of 5.75% during the period 2016-2020.
