Network Maps: Transatlantic Cables

On this page I collect links to maps of transatlantic cables.  To be on this list, a cable system should still be in service and should either connect Europe and North America or major islands in between.  It does not include the Caribbean nor the Mediterranean, which will be collected on parallel pages.   I prefer to collect links to maps provided by the operator of the cable, but where necessary I am including links to maps on Wikipedia or from third parties. As always, some operators have large interactive maps that include their entire international holdings, rather than a specific cable map. In those cases I point to the international maps page, but I would rather have a more specific link if it is available.

Apollo operator map
Hibernia Atlantic operator map
CANTAT-3 wikipedia map
Greenland Connect operator map
Columbus-III wikipedia map
Atlantis-2 wikipedia map
TAT-14 consortium map
FARICE-1 operator map
AC-1 See Global Crossing Int’l Map
Yellow/AC-2 See Level 3, Global Crossing Int’l Maps
TGN Atlantic See Tata Int’l Map
Flag Atlantic-1 See Reliance Globalcom Map
SHEFA-2 map in brochure
DANICE 3rd party map

As always, this list is a work in progress and is meant to be inclusive. If you know of any cables that ought to be on this list, please send it me or just leave a comment below.

  • Please note that Apollo SCS is a private system and not a consortia system as listed.

      This is incorrect. All the legacy VSNL cables were renamed in February 2008 to align with the rebranding to Tata Communications. (TGN now = Tata Global Network instead of Tyco Global Network.)

      The full list is :
      TGN Atlantic
      TGN Pacific
      TGN Intra-Asia
      TGN Eurasia (under construction)
      TGN Gulf (under construction)
      TGN Western European Ring
      TGN Northern European Ring

      and TIC, the legacy Tata Indicom Cable, which I understand is to be renamed to align with the rest of the cable systems.
