Civitavecchia is a city and major sea port situated on the Tyrrhenian Sea, approximately 60 kilometres west-northwest of Rome in the Lazio region of Italy. As a coastal hub on the western Italian seaboard, it serves as a landing point for two submarine cables: Janna and ROMSAR 2. Both cables connect to other points within Italy, making Civitavecchia a node within the domestic Italian submarine cable network rather than a gateway to international or intercontinental routes.
The corridor enabled by these two cables is intra-national, linking Civitavecchia to other Italian coastal locations. Italy as a whole hosts 37 submarine cables across 55 landing points, and Civitavecchia's two-cable presence places it in the upper 93 percent of Italian landing points by cable count, reflecting the distributed nature of Italy's submarine cable geography.
Janna is a submarine cable measuring 634 kilometres in length, with a ready-for-service date of 2005. Currently listed in draft status, Janna connects Civitavecchia to other landing points within Italy, forming a domestic link along the Italian coast.
ROMSAR 2 is a submarine cable with a ready-for-service date of 1996, also listed in draft status. Like Janna, ROMSAR 2 connects Civitavecchia to other locations within Italy, extending the domestic submarine cable footprint of the Tyrrhenian coastal region.
Within Italy's submarine cable landscape, Civitavecchia occupies a modest position compared to major hubs such as Mazara del Vallo, which hosts nine cables, or Genoa and Catania, which serve as landing points for seven and five cables respectively. Civitavecchia's two-cable profile is shared with Lampedusa and Linosa, placing it among the smaller but still active nodes in Italy's distributed submarine cable network.
Civitavecchia functions as a two-cable terminus within the domestic Italian submarine cable corridor. Both cables landing here — Janna and ROMSAR 2 — connect to other Italian endpoints, meaning this landing point contributes to intra-national connectivity along the Tyrrhenian coast rather than bridging Italy to international destinations. With ROMSAR 2 dating to 1996 and Janna to 2005, Civitavecchia represents an established, if compact, node in Italy's submarine infrastructure history.
In the broader Italian submarine cable graph, Civitavecchia's role as a domestic interconnection point complements the country's larger international gateways, contributing to the redundancy and geographic spread that characterises Italy's extensive coastal cable network.
