Finland-Germany submarine cable disrupted due to glitch

The submarine cable between Finland and Germany went out of service on Monday due to a fault, said Finnish state-owned data transmission company Cinia in a press release.

The fault has been detected in the Cinia Oy C-Lion1 submarine cable at 4:00 a.m. resulting down of the services.

The details of the fault could not be known, and the authorities are investigating into the incident to get more information in this regard.

Corrective measures have been initiated and the repair vessel is getting ready to go on the site.

The exact repair time is not yet known, but typically the repair time for submarine cables is between 5 and 15 days, said Cinia.

Finland's international telecommunication connections are routed via multiple routes and the impact of a single cable failure depends on the resilience of the service providers' connections.

C-Lion1 is a submarine telecommunications cable between Finland and Germany with a length of 1173 km.

The submarine cable was launched in 2016 and connects Central European telecommunications networks to Finland and other Nordic countries.
