The first submarine communications cables were laid in the 1850s and revolutionized global connectivity with an efficient telecommunication link between continents. Originally designed for telegraph transmissions, these cables have become the backbone of the modern Internet, now carrying digital data across the globe via fiber optic wires. The submarine cable network has grown substantially, with over 600 active and planned cables totaling nearly 1.4 million kilometers. #DidYouKnow? #WithIEEE
