Baie Jacotet is a coastal landing point on the island of Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean. Two submarine cables make landfall here, making it the most connected landing point in Mauritius by cable count. The cables landing at Baie Jacotet link Mauritius both to continental Africa and to the outlying Rodrigues island, establishing connections across two distinct corridors: intercontinental and inter-island.
Among the cables serving Baie Jacotet, the T3 cable represents the international dimension, connecting Mauritius directly to South Africa. The Mauritius and Rodrigues Submarine Cable System (MARS) provides domestic inter-island connectivity, linking the main island of Mauritius with Rodrigues. Together, these two systems give Baie Jacotet a dual role that no other landing point in Mauritius replicates individually.
T3 is a submarine cable system with a length of 3,200 km that reached ready-for-service status in 2023. It connects Mauritius and South Africa, spanning the southwestern Indian Ocean to establish a direct link between the island nation and the African continent.
Mauritius and Rodrigues Submarine Cable System (MARS) is a submarine cable with a length of 677 km that reached ready-for-service status in 2019. It connects two landing points within Mauritius — specifically linking the main island with Rodrigues — making it a domestic inter-island system. Baie Jacotet serves as one of its Mauritian termini.
Mauritius has three submarine cable landing points in total: Baie Jacotet, Baie du Tombeau, and Grand Baie on Rodrigues. Baie du Tombeau and Grand Baie each host a single cable, while Baie Jacotet hosts two, making it the leading landing point in Mauritius by cable count. This positions Baie Jacotet as the most connected point in the country's submarine cable geography.
Baie Jacotet functions as a multi-cable hub within Mauritius, combining an international route to South Africa via T3 with the domestic inter-island route to Rodrigues via MARS. No other landing point in Mauritius currently serves both an intercontinental and an intra-national corridor simultaneously. The T3 cable, at 3,200 km, represents the longer international reach, while MARS, at 677 km, addresses domestic island connectivity.
In the regional submarine cable graph, Baie Jacotet's position as the sole dual-cable landing point in Mauritius means it sits at the intersection of the country's international and domestic submarine connectivity, linking the island nation outward to continental Africa while also maintaining the internal connection to its dependency island of Rodrigues.
