Abstract

PURPOSE:To cope with the variation in the distance of installation without extension of relaying section by varying the attenuation of light to make it coincident with the standard loss of the relaying section. CONSTITUTION:When an optional submarine relaying section 9 is connected to an optical fiber cable shorter than the standard length of the optical fiber cable, i.e., an optical fiber cable short distance section 7, an external control type optical attenuator 5 is connected, and the loss generated because of the difference between the standard length of the optical fiber cable and the length of the optical fiber cable inserted actually is made coincident with the standard loss of the relaying section by applying a magnetic field to the external control type optical attenuator 5 from a control panel 6 on a cable installation ship 10 to vary the attenuation of light. Then, even if the installation distance is changed, allowing to cope with the variation without the extension of the relaying section.

The submarine optical communication system of the present invention includes an optical transmitting terminal station, an optical receiving terminal station, an optical fiber cable subordinately connected between these two terminal stations, a joint box for connecting the optical fiber cable, and a submarine optical fiber cable. In an optical submarine communication system including an optical repeater, when any submarine optical repeater section is connected by a short-distance optical fiber cable section shorter than the standard length of the optical fiber cable, an externally controlled optical attenuator is connected, The loss caused by the difference between the standard length of the optical fiber cable and the optical fiber cable actually inserted can be reduced by applying a magnetic field to the externally controlled shadow attenuator using a control panel on the cable installation ship to vary the amount of light attenuation. This is characterized in that the loss matches the standard loss of the corresponding relay section.
