Over time, with user contributions and guidance, Mahlknecht hopes his free cable map will eventually be more comprehensive and offer greater accuracy that the Telegeography map. I realised a free version needed to be made.” “I didn’t want it that badly and looked for a free alternative to print out but couldn’t find one. “I saw the Telegeography map and wanted one, but found it cost US$250,” he says. The map, which took Mahlknecht several months to complete, is free of charge and will remain so.

Eritrea: East African Submarine Cable System. Other countries, such as the following eight nations, will be connected by an international fiber-optic submarine cable system for the first time by 2008.” “Of the 151 countries with shorelines, the United States surpasses any other country with over 60 international fiber-optic submarine cable systems landing on its shore. Germany-Denmark 2 is a point-to-point system connecting two points: Ribnitz, Germany and Gedser, Denmark.” The shortest system depicted on this map is only 60 kilometers long.
Its 39 landing points connect 32 different countries. The system spans 39,000 kilometers from Norden in Germany to Keoje in South Korea.
“SeaMeWe-3 is the longest submarine cable built to date. Olive Crab: Latin America and Caribbean.For systems configured as self-healing or collapsed rings, initial capacity is presented as the sum of both halves of the ring.” Column height reflects capacity when the system began operation. “Submarine cables shown in this timeline include all the systems depicted in the main projection of the map. Submarine Cable System Timeline (between 1995-2006) Other elements of the map are as follows. Inset tables indicate local smaller cable systems originating in specific points, such as Honolulu. Cable routes are stylized and do not reflect exact physical cable location.
