Apricot

Apricot is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 6 countries across Oceania, Southeast Asia, East Asia. With 8 landing points — including Agat, Baler, Batam, Davao, Minamiboso, and 3 more — it forms one of the backbone links carrying international internet traffic between continents. As an intercontinental system, Apricot plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. GeoCables maintains health checks on this cable using distributed RIPE Atlas probes, with automated anomaly detection triggered when RTT exceeds 4x the historical baseline.
