Again this was a few years ago so it's open to improvement like all things.

The electrical wires won't kill anything around the area because it's salt water essentially It will just make alot of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Chlorine and a few other gases from electrolisis and eventually the cable will become too corroded to be a problem.]]>Jan 18th 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/Jan 12th 2008 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/Jan 13th 2008 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/
There will be 12kv power feed equipment on either end to power the undersea erbium doped optical amplifiers (repeaters).

The optical fibers are in the middle of the cable, and are surrounded by teflon, a copper conductor, and it is further armored with steel when it approaches land.

If there is a cable cut or break, it would simply ground to the ocean bed, creating a shunt fault. ]]>Feb 5th 2008 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/Jan 11th 2008 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/Jan 12th 2008 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/Jan 12th 2008 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/Jan 12th 2008 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/Jan 12th 2008 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/Jan 12th 2008 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/i think this will only make it easy-er for Foreign Country to hack in to are System?]]>Jan 12th 2008 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/Jan 13th 2008 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/trans-pacific-express-submarine-cable-system-gets-fcc-approval/
Engadget does a better job than most at ensuring the work of the "writers" is clear, concise, and readable.
