International connections
Countries that share at least one cable system with Germany. A shared system means the physical infrastructure exists between them; it does not describe how traffic is actually routed.
Data source
Cable routes, names, operators and landing stations come from OpenStreetMap, licensed under the ODbL. Cable lengths, ready-for-service years, owners and official websites come from Wikidata (CC0). Landing point cities and countries were resolved with Nominatim, and the country outlines on the globe are Natural Earth (public domain).
Nothing on these pages is estimated, generated or filled in. Where a source does not state a value, the page says Data unavailable.
Data last updated
This dataset is rebuilt periodically from the sources above. It is not live, and it does not report cable faults or outages.
