About the APCN-2 Cable System

APCN-2 is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 7 countries across Southeast Asia, East Asia. With 10 landing points — including Batangas, Busan, Cherating, Chikura, Chongming, and 5 more — it forms one of the backbone links carrying international internet traffic between continents. Intra-Asian connectivity is critical for the region's booming digital economy, with data centers in Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong serving as regional hubs. This cable is part of GeoCables' continuous monitoring program — RIPE Atlas probes measure latency around the clock, flagging anomalies when RTT deviates significantly from established baselines.
