Abstract
Submarine cables ( ) have armouring ( ) surrounding the cable core ( ), which armouring protects the cable core ( ) particularly from mechanical loads. The armouring ( ) is designed so that it can withstand the mechanical stresses to which the submarine cable ( ) is subjected when laid at the greatest depths provided for. Such armouring ( ) is overdimensioned in areas of lesser depths. The invention provides for a submarine cable ( ), and a method for the manufacture thereof, a corresponding number of armouring wires ( ) used to form the armouring ( ) being replaced as necessary by filler strands ( ).
