Undersea cables carry much of the world’s internet traffic – but how are they protected from the elements, and why are we still putting cables on the ocean floor in a wireless world?

Cool !
Funny to see the difference between a LTT motherboard testing video full of technical gibberish and this baby-level cable video ?
3:14 mmmyeah that’s not how the fiber strands look in an actual cable
I don't really "need" to know about undersea Internet cables, but there again, I know a LOT of things I don't "need" to know, so I may as well know more things I don't really "need" to know! ??
I first used FIBRE OPTIC CABLE in 1990, to connect my CD Player to my DAC!
Undersea cables are HEAVILY ARMOURED.
I used to work in a factory that built those submarine fiber optic cables, I was in QC and test.
How are the undersea fiberoptic repeaters powered?
My grandpa was a mathematician and electrical engineer and worked on the project to first put fiber optic cables under several large bodies of water. Only wish I could have known him better before he passed.
In Germany we still love the coaxial from the 50s and we won't ever give them up!! ❤
I was neighbors with the AT&T engineer that was in charge of a transpacific cable project before I was born. What was ironic about him is he never buried wires in his own yard to automate his sprinkler systems, so he paid me $3 a day to turn on his sprinklers while he was out of town. If he was still alive he would happy he did not waste his time and money on that project as we are not even allowed to water the yard.
What is this site you used to browse the backbone network?
I am surprised the video sponsor is not GlassWire today…
Why is there no roaming for internet?
i lke your hoodie
That is the only thing I do not understand is how that cable is cheaper than wi-fi? How can that be with manufacturing costs, paying people to lay the cables, maintenance costs, etc.
does anyone remember those fibre optic lamps?
Regarding the new cable between US and UK, would this mean improved ping between the teo countries in games?
Why THAT thumbnail? You are giving those guys at Sharkando Series even more ideas ???
I thought the internet connection was through satellite
If we could build Rapture at the bottom of the Atlantic, we could definitely get some good internets.
Dam, I had no idea there are cables running under the sea from continent to continent. Guess I never thought about it too much
????????????????????????????
Should cover more on Admiral Grace Hopper
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
"350,000 times faster than a **NORMAL** home gigabit connection" Get a grip of yourself!!!!!!! Its hard enough watching you spend 10s of thousands of other companies pounds making pointless upgrades of your home that you throw away within 1yr!!!!!! I live in a large rural town in the UK and I am only able (without a private investment of £10,000) able to get 30mbps. If your going to try to make something relatively intangible relatable to the average joe, then actually have a clue what the average joe has to deal with.
Would love more on undersea cables. Maybe a LTT video from at landing site facility.
3:24 Almunium? I checked wikipedia and googled extensively. I'm just going to assume a typo at this point for aluminum.
That "Almunium Water Barrier" at 3:25 is a very exotic material.
?
Linus's mustache is not symmetrical, I don't know why it's bugging me, sorry
One month ago, undersea Internet Cables in Indonesia had "problems" and coincidentally the only ISPs that were affected were government-owned ISPs.
Due to poor service and network, plus this problem. There are more and more complaints until some are forcing this ISP to be closed because apart from cheating, such as cutting a competitor's cable, also trying to monopolize the area because of its "Government Owned" status.
Do the new Pinephone pro 🙂
What hell! Mind blown…. I didn't know that Linus :)) yep wireless sucks I will show them this video to justify ??
here in Iraq, the shark is an employee of earthlink ? (I'm not kidding ?)
If you pause at 3:42 and let the grey layer come when you move mouse you can see some text in the video
If I Can't watch squid game on Netflix, I'm blaming the giant squid that took the internet out
THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS GOOD CABLE MANAGEMENT… BOW THAT THEY GOT WIRES THIS LONG
What about starlink?
Only 352000x of my connection? WEAK!
Undersea internet cables?? What happen to super fast outer space satelite internet???
