Bro I want to ask something about fiber cable. 1. Like at a particular time only one signal can be passed through one fiber cable or more than one signal can be transferred. 2. How the route of these signals are decided , like where to go it can go anywhere like India, USA, Australia etc. Thanks in advance if you Reply ☺️.

@@Jamezy316 These cables aren't a hundred metres below surface. They usually are just around max. 3 metres below seabed which yes, can be that deep, but its not necessary to dig. Fisherboats manage to damage them all the time with their anchors. And when entering shores you could even search for them there by diving. Not far from them there usually is a sort of transferstation which could give you a hint. But I also learned when such cable is damaged there always is backup to evade to. Hypothetically you could also spy on the cable maintenance vessels in order to get position of the cable. Then just wait for them to leave and shrub across the seabed and hope your best I guess. If your only intent is to be as malicious as possible, wouldn't it be a small price to pay to have no stable internet connection urself, when you can make a whole nation suffer?

Redundancy is also a big factor to consider, while you could isolate some countires, disrupting all connections would be hard as internet is built for traffic to rebalance to other routes when most efficient ones are not available. Instead of going from NY to London you may go from NY to SF to Tokyo to mainland China and then continental Asia / Europe to London. Great maps of all submarine cable are available on Telegeography ;)

Now, I've been in some nasty spots doing some precise, hard to reach work. Not quite like that though. Manipulating your tools with those gloves, the confined space to work in with your hands, lowered visibility and movement cuz underwater and loaded with gear. Still, if I'm ever bored of industrial work, I'll apply ;) One giant upside though: if you've got a power cable breach at least you can be a little more sure the cable's been shorted and is therefore safe

Not really... Different mission profiles... Let's say you are in some remote area where there is no phone lines, cable TV lines, cell phone towers. or even line of sight microwave capabilities... For example, a ship that is out at sea... You can still get internet via an internet satellite service provider... You send and receive to the satellite which communicates with it's ground based system, which uses wired connections for the rest of the internet connection and your response goes back up to the satellite and then gets relayed down to you... And then there is the fault tolerance / redundancy issue... You wouldn't want all internet connection to a country cut off if a single cable got damaged by a ship's anchor, right? Being able to fall back on a somewhat slower satellite connection would mean that it was just an inconvenience, not a major issue... Just like when you are setting up your house for internet... If you are *serious* about it, you'll wire your house with CAT5/CAT6 twisted pair wiring in addition to having a WAP (wireless access point) (which is usually combined with a router these days).

@alysonsantos4686 Жыл бұрын
Satellite internet has a higher latency than fiber optic cable, which means there is a delay between sending and receiving data. This can make real-time applications like online gaming and video conferencing more difficult to use. Satellite internet has limited bandwidth, which means that data usage is typically capped and may slow down during peak hours. Fiber optic cable, on the other hand, can provide virtually unlimited bandwidth, allowing for consistent speeds even during high traffic times.
