Asia Direct Cable (ADC)

Asia Direct Cable (ADC) is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 6 countries across Southeast Asia, East Asia. With 7 landing points — including Batangas, Chung Hom Kok, Maruyama, Quy Nhon, Shantou, and 2 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. GeoCables maintains health checks on this cable using distributed RIPE Atlas probes, with automated anomaly detection triggered when RTT exceeds 4x the historical baseline.
