About the Med Cable Network Cable System

Med Cable Network is a point-to-point submarine cable linking Algeria and France. Landing at Algiers, Annaba, Marseille, Oran, it provides a direct fiber-optic path between the two countries, serving as both a primary data route and a redundancy option for neighboring cable systems. As an intercontinental system, Med Cable Network 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.
