The Circe North submarine cable is a fiber optic cable that stretches over 2,800 km across the Mediterranean Sea. It connects the Italian mainland to Cyprus, making landfall at Mazara del Vallo and Larnaca. The cable can carry up to 96 wavelengths of light, with a capacity of 960 Gbps. The project was initiated by MedNautilus, a telecommunications company specializing in submarine cable systems, and was completed in 2010. The Circe North cable is an important link in the global telecommunications network and supports high-speed data transfer and voice communications between Italy and Cyprus. It also provides connectivity to other parts of the Mediterranean, including the Middle East and North Africa. The cable is designed to withstand harsh underwater conditions and has a lifespan of up to 25 years.
