TE Subcom on the 'Open Cables' Model

Posted by Irina Tabakina

TE SubCom’s “Open Cables” is a new business model that allows customers to select preferred Submarine Line Terminating Equipment (SLTE) line card supplier to create an interoperable and complementary dry and wet plant. SubCom will continue to offer and invest in its advanced SLTE product line, in addition to the new Open Cables alternative, to provide customers with ultimate flexibility.
The Open Cables model provides SubCom customers greater choice and flexibility in choosing line cards while continuing to benefit from the company’s latest technology. The Open Cables model takes advantage of fundamental facts in coherent technology together with transmission properties of high dispersion fibers in undersea systems. These fundamental principles allow the wet plant to be optimized regardless of the line card provider. Purchasers now have a cost effective, comprehensive yet bespoke solution that allows for a multi-vendor supplier base for transponders.
