Is it email? analog audio via oceanic cables? the wikipedia page is blank now. but it's history show that someone described it simply as "oceanic cable" sometime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomatic_cable

It's a transcript, an official record, of a diplomatic communication. The communication itself might have been by email, voice or anything. A cable is its official transcript.
