Submarine Cable System Failure and Causes

August of this large-scale network failure, not only so that we know Morakot also learned submarine cable, the transmission equipment and a little strange that we are closely related. What are susceptible to submarine cable fault? Cause of these failures are the reasons?

Edited more than a collection of information, one by one to answer your questions.

First, the submarine cable failures easily, there are four: short circuit, leakage faults, open circuit failure and fiber failure.

Secondly, the reason for these failures, there are two, one is external influences, such as earthquakes, typhoons, fishing operations, the other one is the sea of equipment failure, the main bifurcation and repeaters and other devices fail. Relatively well-known history of failure are derived from external influences, and because this impact range, inevitably, after the repair work is subject to environmental conditions, speed of recovery is relatively slow, 06 at the end of earthquake rupture repair work on the submarine cable for more than a month's time.
