Using aluminum to overcome capacity challenges in submarine cable systems
- PaulHoule 8y agoLet me see if I get this straight. Aluminum is a worse conductor than copper, but if you use aluminum you can use more of it, because it is cheaper, and thus support more energy throughput, right?
- moneil971 8y ago“As a conductor, aluminum allows for a much lower cable voltage drop, which allows for a higher number of FPS per cable.” Also, its cheaper
