The SHEFA-2 cable links the Faeroes to the Shetland and the UK. It also link to the BP-operated Clair Ridge oil field as well as to another oil field (i would assume) named Glen Lyon. However, the only Glen Lyon in the area is in Scotland, and not offshore. The name comes from Shetland-Faroes, which is its general route.
The line includes the world's longest passive fiber optic cable section, using no amplifiers at all in a stretch of 390 km.
The line is not particularly interesting. Perhaps it is because I am not well-versed on the history of the Faroes or the Shetlands, but I believe that the cables are fairly benign.
As to "why" thy were cut, my best guess, given recent events, is that the UK cut the cables to generate fear and hype and pin it on Russia (as if they could make it out of their own ports without being noticed by NATO satellites). It doesn't make sense for any other country to have done it. Those are shallow waters, regularly patrolled by the Royal Navy and one of the most strategically important regions of water to the UK. The fact that there is a blame game going on about this is further proof to me that the UK did it to distract from its economic and political crises and to attempt to further box Russia in. If so, it utterly failed.
"Wire" would be the most appropriate term to use, and has been used symbolically to invoke lines of communication (ex: first Spy-derman comic traversing telephone wires building to building).
Q's 619 uses "wire" in direct followup to "how do you defuse a bomb? Knowledge of which wires/strings to cut". Wire is the metaphor, strings is the intended meaning.
Q's 299 lays out the Pyramid structure, which relies on blackmail strings. Post was a mere month after the purge of Al-Waleed, the sole biggest "string cutting" event in human history.

I wonder if "strings" also refer to global internet cables?
"Knowledge of which wires/strings to cut?" https://qalerts.app/?n=619
"Strings cut to US/UK." https://qalerts.app/?n=299
