Terrestrial Cable

Short description: Communications cable crossing land, rather than water

A terrestrial cable is a communications cable which crosses land, rather than water. Terrestrial cable may be subterranean (buried) or aerial (suspended from poles), and may be fiber or copper.^[1]^[2] The term "terrestrial cable" is principally used to distinguish it from submarine cable,^[3] although some overlap exists between the two.^[4]

Major terrestrial cable systems include the Europe-Persia Express Gateway and the family of Eurasia terrestrial cable networks.^[5]^[6]^[7]
