    This a a huge cable. I doubt it would be used bare like that. It has to be part of a more complete cable system. Perhaps something like this.

    Image from here, along with more information.

    I tried to imagine how large that cable is. When I hold my hand like that, I get about 2.5" or about 63mm

    The largest cable on this chart is about 1.4" or 36mm

    I stumbled onto this image while researching the above information. Image is titled HVDC_Submarine_Cable_Cross_Section_-_from_New_Zealand_Inter-island_scheme.jpg
