In this paper we describe the active and passive components used in the underwater portion of the SF Cable System. We present reasons for choosing certain types and, where appropriate, outline methods of manufacture, screening, aging and selection. Measures taken to safeguard the components before, during, and after assembly in repeaters are discussed briefly.
