Submarine working cables (10) for supplying power to submersibles, for information exchange between the submersibles and a mother station and for load handling in the manner of a crane cable for carrying the submersible, are intended to exhibit as high a load-bearing capacity as possible. At great water depths, the dead weight of the submarine working cable (10) reduces the load-bearing capacity thereof. Therefore, for great working depths, submarine working cables (10) have to be provided with an above-average large cross section of strands that can be loaded under tension. The invention provides for a part of the strands (44) of the submarine working cable (10) that absorb tensile loads to be made of a high-tensile, non-metal material, i.e. carbon. This reduces the dead weight of the submarine working cable (10), with the result that it can bear higher loads than submarine working cables (10), load-bearing, tension-absorbing strands of which are made entirely of steel.

Submarine communications cables have a copper tube (11) surrounding optical conductors (10), a reinforcement, surrounding the tube (11), made of braided strands (13), a jacket layer made for example of a copper tube, and external insulation (18). It is complicated and expensive to form the jacket layer from copper or a copper tube. Furthermore, the flexibility of the submarine communications cable suffers under the jacket layer made of copper. The invention provides for the copper jacket layer around the strands (13) of the reinforcement to be replaced by a wrapped layer (14) formed from at least one band (15, 17). The thin, flexible band (15, 17) can be easily wrapped like a tape around the strands (13) of the reinforcement. Furthermore, the wrapped layer (14) formed from the at least one thin band (15, 17) increases the flexibility of the submarine communications cable.
