Submarine cables in Cayman Islands

2 submarine cable landing points in Cayman Islands. View coordinates, connected cables, and detailed location info.

The Cayman Islands has two submarine cable landing points, located at Cayman Brac and Half Moon Bay. These landing points connect the country to two undersea cables that facilitate its international internet connectivity.

The Maya-1.2 cable, the longest serving the Cayman Islands, has been operational since 2000 and spans 2,386 kilometers. It connects the Cayman Islands to Honduras and the United States. The Cayman-Jamaica Fiber System (CJFS), which has been in service since 1997, is the older of the two cables. It stretches 1,197 kilometers and links the Cayman Islands to Jamaica. The main internet service providers in the country by user base are WestTel, Cable & Wireless (Cayman Islands), Digicel Cayman, Infinity Broadband, and Starlink.
