About the Pacific Caribbean Cable System (PCCS) Cable System
Pacific Caribbean Cable System (PCCS) is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 7 countries across South America, North America. With 9 landing points — including Balboa, Cartagena, Hudishibana, Jacksonville, Mahuma, and 4 more — it forms one of the backbone links carrying international internet traffic between continents. North-South American cables typically land in Miami or Jacksonville, connecting to Brazil's internet hub in São Paulo — one of the world's largest internet exchange points. GeoCables monitors this system's performance through regular RIPE Atlas probe measurements, analyzing RTT patterns to detect degradation before it impacts end users.
