About the CADMOS-2 Cable System

CADMOS-2 is a point-to-point submarine cable linking Lebanon and Cyprus. Landing at Beirut, Pentaskhinos, it provides a direct fiber-optic path between the two countries, serving as both a primary data route and a redundancy option for neighboring cable systems. The Europe-Middle East corridor runs through the Mediterranean and Red Sea, one of the most strategically important — and vulnerable — cable routes on Earth. GeoCables maintains health checks on this cable using distributed RIPE Atlas probes, with automated anomaly detection triggered when RTT exceeds 4x the historical baseline.
