The operators of the high-voltage network in the Netherlands and Denmark, TenneT and Energinet.dk, are laying a cable for the transportation of electricity between Denmark and the Netherlands (Eemshaven). This COBRAcable could potentially be equipped with a number of optical fibres during installation, allowing data to also be transported along the cable between Denmark and the Netherlands. Dialogic investigated the potential value of this addition, considering various technical properties (such as the costs of additional fibres, options for signal enhancement, etc.) as well as factors related to international competition and substitution effects.
The COBRAcable was realised in 2019 including 21 pairs of optical fibres, and its operation was carried out by dark fibre provider Relined.
