cable termination station

For power cables the term cable termination station is not strictly determined.

A cable termination station is the point at which the submarine cable connects into the land-based infrastructure or network.

A cable termination station may be the same facility as the cable landing station, or may be many miles away.

The cable landing point in Sydney is Tamarama Beach, some distance from the cable termination station in Paddington.

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.

It has 14 landing points, 12 along the western coast of Africa (including Cape Verde and Canary Islands) and 2 in Europe(Portugal and England) completed on land by a cable termination station in London.

Frequently, there will be a nearby cable landing station, or cable termination station, which may well be shared between multiple cable systems, but in some cases, the cable may be laid many miles inland before reaching its termination point.
