Round-trip time between cities on routes through this region, from RIPE Atlas. Latency above the probes’ measured baseline can have many causes; it is never treated as proof of a cable fault.
Narrow passages where many cables share one route, so a single anchor drag or seabed event can damage several at once. Counts are cables whose published route crosses a line drawn across the passage.
Between Spain and Morocco, linking the Mediterranean with the Atlantic.
