Submarine power cable

A submarine power cable comprising:

• a conductor, and an insulation system arranged around the conductor,
• the submarine power cable having a first cable section, a second cable section, and a joint region between the first cable section and the second cable section, wherein the conductor has a conductor joint in the joint region, and
• an armour having a plurality of elongated elements arranged around the insulation system, and extending along the first cable section, the second cable section, and the joint region, the armour including a first single layer armour layer,
• wherein, in the first and second cable sections, the elongated elements of the first single layer armour layer comprise a plurality of cable section armouring elements and a plurality of filler elements,
• wherein, in the joint region, the elongated elements of the first single layer armour layer include a plurality of joint region armouring elements being connected to the cable section armouring elements, the cable section armouring elements and the joint region armouring elements having a higher stiffness tensile strength than the filler elements, and
• wherein the stiffness tensional strength of the first single layer armour layer is higher in the joint region than in the first and second cable sections.
