Fibre-optic Link Around the Globe (FLAG) is a 28,000-kilometre-long (17,398 ; 15,119 ) mostly- that connects the, , and many places in between. Consider the biggest corridors: the transatlantic links between the US and Europe; the transpacific routes between the US and East Asia; the high-capacity ring between Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore; the Europe-Asia systems via the Indian Ocean; and the Africa-Europe. The Submarine Cable Map is a free and regularly updated resource from TeleGeography. Physical glass cables on the ocean floor carry the bulk of intercontinental traffic—which is why chokepoints and cable cuts can slow (or sometimes partially disrupt) entire regions. This page is designed to answer a simple question: what does the world internet cable map actually look like, and how. Explore the physical backbone of the internet with our interactive map of undersea fiber optic cables, peering exchange points, and more.

Fibre-optic Link Around the Globe (FLAG) is a 28,000-kilometre-long (17,398 mi; 15,119 nmi) fibre optic mostly-submarine communications cable that connects the United Kingdom, Japan, India, and many places in between. The cable is operated by Global Cloud Xchange, a subsidiary of RCOM. The system runs from the eastern coast of North America to Japan. Its Europe–Asia segment was the fourth longest cable in the world in 2008.
