African Cable Landing Station - Share Cable

This is the inside of the cable landing station of a recently built subsea network on Africa's West Coast. The Share cable links Senegal to the chain of islands known as Cape Verde. The maddening confusion of jumper cables is a good example of total management ineptitude. African subsea cable projects rarely live up to the hype due to a lack of professionalism or economic opportunism. Fortunately, 2Africa and Equiano will meet the lofty expectations of them.
