N2 - The 2-level cactus introduced by Dinitz and Nutov in [5] is a data structure that represents the minimum and minimum+1 edge-cuts of an undirected connected multi-graph G in a compact way. In this paper, we study planarity of the 2-level cactus, which can be used, e.g., in graph drawing. We give a new sufficient planarity criterion in terms of projection paths over a spanning subtree of a graph. Using this criterion, we show that the 2-level cactus of G is planar if the cardinality of a minimum edge-cut of G is not equal to 2, 3 or 5. On the other hand, we give examples for non-planar 2-level cacti of graphs with these connectivities.
