Terrestrial cable
Communications cable crossing land, rather than water / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]
