A true turning point in communication history, TAT-8, the first transatlantic fiber optic cable, was laid in 1988 between the US and Europe (UK and France).
Capable of carrying 40,000 telephone calls simultaneously, TAT-8 was science fiction at the time. Yet, with specialized insulation and armoring engineering designed to withstand extreme pressure, waves, and harsh underwater conditions, it formed the backbone of the global internet.
Today, as Turkuaz Cable, we ensure your data flows securely across continents and cities with our armored cable solutions engineered for the toughest geographical and environmental conditions. 🔗
