Pangea is a submarine telecommunications cable system transiting the North Sea connecting UK with Denmark and Netherlands. By 2002, it was no longer in service.[4] It consisted of two widely separated submarine segments - Pangea North and Pangea South.[3]
Pangea North segment of length 685 km had landing points at:[5]

The cable systems were deployed as a part of a larger effort by the network operator, Pangea Europe Limited, to connect countries in the Nordic region.[7] [8] However, the company already had economic difficulties in September 2001,[9] and bankruptcy was filed in 2002 shortly after Pangea was finished. The cable ownership was transferred first to Arrowhead and Nortel[10] and then to become a part of Linx Telecom (now CITIC Telecom CPC) later in 2004.[11]
