It is essentially like rapid Morse code but the data line that transmits the "beepity beep beeps" (and boops) utilizes the speed of light. Fiber optic basically keeps reflecting whatever light is administered to an end. Because of those characteristics the other end responds with the speed of light. So it is actually really amazing that we are utilizing the second fastest thing we know of in this manner. What may come next by necessity will be particle entanglement (would be instant). However that I assume would require a very new type of network design including the harnessing devices but who knows.
I am amazed not so much by the length of the cable, but by how it's rolled up in the ship to be transported and laid. Basically a cable long 15.000 km rolled in a 146 meter long ship. Just wow.
holy fck, honestly until now i didn't know this. Im so amazed, im actually losing it. 14k km of cable under sea, what da f... really AWESOME and FASCINATING
as of right now there is about 350 000 km of submarine cables around the world, 22 times the equator length. sorry for necroposting, just wanted to amaze you even more xD
This used to be my grandpa’s job. He has so many stories about living on the ship, traveling the world and working for at&t. It’s so cool to see what he’s actually talk about.
@ Um, I think I meant walking in circles inside the tanks where they coil the cable on the ship, it doesn't look like more than about five to ten yards in circumference, for the walker, to me and is not a straight line. And it has nothing to do with your flat Earth. My Earth is not flat by the way...
What I find crazy is how that tiny cable (which is what, 1-2 inches in diameter?) can carry all of the cross-continent communication at once... there must be billions of terabytes flowing through it every second, both ways! It’s weird. I would have expected something a lot thicker.
What’s even crazier is there’s only about 10 -15 fiber optic cables in that braid, carrying all of that information. I know that the TAT-14 cable that spans from New Jersey to Denmark has only 10 fiber optic cables in the braid. Those 10 cables essentially transmit all of the internet data from continental Europe to the US.
Fastest one is currently 160 terabits per second or 40 terabytes/s. I also thought it would be more but keep in mind everyone isn't using data every second.
XMattingly that makes sense, any idea how many there are? Based on what James said, if they’re rated at 40-160 TB per second then there must be at least... 10 or 20?
It’s crazy to think that the TAT-14 transatlantic cable that spans from New Jersey to Denmark, is a braid of only 10 fiber optic cables that transmits all of the internet data between the US and continental Europe. The terminals on both sides are just some ordinary looking non-descript buildings that you’d never think housed such important equipment. It runs from Tuckerton, NJ to West Jutland, Denmark.

That would be very hard to cut all of them at the same time and the internet would still work, It just wouldn't be as easy to access servers in other countries, and you can still have access through satellites, so governments would still have communication. Also they have ways to calculate exactly where the line is broken and a ship can go out and repair it in a day or more depending on how far out to sea they have to go.

You do not need a submarine. The cables terminate into a building on land. One is in Virginia Beach , VA. They are ordinary looking buildings with maybe a tall fence around them. And there are "No Mooring" signs around the area where the cable goes on to land and into the building. Now let your mind wander it the intent is there to wreak havoc on the system. The cables suffer more damage from shark bites than ship anchors. Have fun.
For anyone curious, the actual cable capacity is 160 teraBITS… not 160 terabytes as they said or 160 "terabites" (this isn't a thing) as they spelled on-screen
@Advocatus Diaboli at a 500km altitude, a telecommunications satellite wont have to send data much more further than the cable on ground (7900km). I'm too lazy to do the math right now but the distance is definitely small enough to be faster

Maybe not the technology scince glassfiber is pretty good but putting cables under the ocean could very well be outdated with technologies like Starlink.
I honestly had no idea about these cables. I’m 21 and always thought all information was transferred through satellites cause I never imagined someone could build such a long cable that crosses from one continent do you next across the ocean.
Satellites have WAY to high latency (delay/time for the data to travel to the sat, down to a data center, back up, back down to customer). Where as fiber is extremely low latency. Sartlink will be interesting though since it's using low orbit satellites, and people that have it now are already seeing speeds of 150-200 Mbps and latency that is pretty much on par with cable internet. And it will only get faster as they launch more satellites (they are launching 30+ a month)
the incredible cable spool in the ship is really something you don't see everyday, would loves to learn more how the cable laying ship functions and what's inside the whole mechanism.
