Inter-array cable (IAC) assemblies, systems, and methods are disclosed in which a conductive cable between two floating platforms, e.g., floating wind turbine platforms, is suspended below the sea surface and above the seabed. One or more buoyancy sections are included in the cable, which reduces the static tension on the connection at the floating platform by reducing the suspended cable weight, and which provides geometric flexibility, allowing the IAC to comply with platform motions.
