Cable landing point

Cable landing points are usually carefully chosen to be in areas: Such locations are rare, and will usually be the shared landfall point for several cable systems.

A cable landing station may or may not be required, depending on whether, for example, the submarine cable requires power in order to provide power to submarine repeaters or amplifiers.

The termination station will usually be the point where high-capacity 'backhaul' land-based network connects to areas of high demand, which are usually centres of high population density, rather than the usually remote locations of cable landing points/landing stations/termination stations.

A good example of this is the Endeavour cable system which connects Australia to Hawaii.

However one can also say that the substation or HVDC static inverter plant, where the connection to the grid is made describe as cable termination station.
