This is from 2018 - the submarine cable industry has come a long way since then :-).
Channel spacing on marine systems has always been the game. Adding intelligence into branching units (BU's), as well as improvements in amplifier design has been a contributory factor as well.
What is interesting, now, is that in lieu of copper, aluminium is being preferred as a conductor, to lower build costs.
