Farosund is a submarine cable landing point located in Sweden, positioned along the country's coastline with access to the Baltic Sea and surrounding waters. Three submarine cables land at Farosund, making it one of Sweden's more active landing points by cable count. Among the cables terminating here, Aurora and Mjolner East represent connections extending into multiple neighboring Baltic and North Sea nations, while the Sweden-Latvia cable provides a direct bilateral link across the Baltic.
The combination of cables landing at Farosund enables both regional Baltic Sea connectivity and broader connections reaching into Central Europe. Aurora links Sweden with Denmark and Germany to the west and south, while Mjolner East connects toward Estonia and Finland to the northeast. The Sweden-Latvia cable adds a dedicated route to Latvia. Together, these three systems position Farosund as a landing point supporting intercontinental-adjacent and intra-Baltic data corridors.
Aurora is a submarine cable measuring 500 km in length, with a ready-for-service date of 2024 (draft status). In addition to Sweden, Aurora connects Denmark and Germany, establishing a corridor that links the Baltic and North Sea regions and extending Swedish connectivity southward into continental Europe.
Mjolner East spans 450 km and carries a projected ready-for-service year of 2027 (draft status). The cable connects Sweden with Estonia and Finland, forming a northeast Baltic routing that ties together three countries along the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. When operational, it will extend Farosund's reach into the Finnish and Estonian markets.
Sweden-Latvia is a 391 km cable that entered service in 2005, making it the longest-established submarine cable landing at Farosund. It connects Sweden directly with Latvia across the Baltic Sea, providing a bilateral link that has been active for nearly two decades.
Farosund shares its three-cable count with Stockholm and Visby, which are among the busiest landing points in Sweden by this measure. Several other Swedish landing points — including Capri Strand, Helsingborg, Klagshamn, and Stavsnas — host two cables each, placing Farosund in the upper tier of Sweden's 28 landing points by cable count. This positions Farosund alongside Stockholm and Visby as one of the country's more connected cable landing locations.
Farosund functions as a multi-cable hub within the Swedish submarine cable network, terminating three systems that collectively span the Baltic Sea in multiple directions: southward toward Germany and Denmark via Aurora, eastward toward Latvia via Sweden-Latvia, and northeastward toward Estonia and Finland via Mjolner East. The landing point therefore serves as a node bridging the western, southern, and eastern Baltic, as well as extending a connection into the North Sea corridor through Germany and Denmark.
With cables ranging from an established 2005 system to a draft 2027 project, Farosund also reflects an ongoing expansion of Sweden's submarine cable infrastructure. In the regional submarine cable graph, Farosund's three-cable, multi-country connectivity makes it one of the more diversely connected landing points along Sweden's coast.
