San José del Cabo is a coastal city situated near the southern tip of Baja California Sur, Mexico, on the Gulf of California coast. As part of the Los Cabos area alongside Cabo San Lucas, the city occupies a geographically distinct position at the base of the Baja California peninsula. One submarine cable currently lands at San José del Cabo, connecting it to Mexico's broader submarine cable infrastructure.
The single cable landing here, TMX5, is a domestic route linking points within Mexico. This makes San José del Cabo a participant in the intra-national submarine cable network rather than an intercontinental corridor, reflecting the regional role that coastal cities in Baja California Sur can play in connecting the peninsula to the Mexican mainland or other domestic endpoints.
TMX5 is a submarine cable with a length of 383 km, scheduled for ready-for-service (RFS) in 2025 with a draft status. The cable connects points within Mexico, making it a domestic submarine link. At 383 km, it is considerably shorter than the average submarine cable landing in Mexico, which stands at 5,119 km, reflecting its role as a regional rather than long-haul connection.
Within Mexico's submarine cable landscape, San José del Cabo is one of 14 landing points spread across the country, which collectively host 12 submarine cables. With a single cable, San José del Cabo ranks alongside Ciudad Lázaro Cárdenas, Isla de Cozumel, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, and La Paz — each of which also hosts a single cable — placing it in the lower tier by cable count compared to Cancún, which serves six cables, and Mazatlán, which hosts two.
San José del Cabo functions as a single-cable terminus within Mexico's submarine cable network. The TMX5 cable, at 383 km and connecting exclusively to other Mexican endpoints, positions San José del Cabo as a node in the domestic segment of that network rather than a gateway to international connectivity. The city's inclusion in the network represents the southward extension of submarine cable infrastructure along the Baja California peninsula.
In the broader Mexican submarine cable graph, San José del Cabo adds geographic reach to an already distributed set of landing points, ensuring that the southern portion of the Baja peninsula has a dedicated submarine cable connection rather than relying solely on terrestrial links.
