EAC-C2C

EAC-C2C is a submarine telecommunications cable system interconnecting several countries in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. It is a merger of the former EAC (East Asia Crossing) and C2C cable systems. The merger occurred in 2007 by Asia Netcom, and the cable system is now owned/operated by Pacnet. Pacnet was acquired by the Australian telecommunications company Telstra in 2015.

The EAC portion of the cable system includes:

Landing points:


 * 1) Changi, Singapore
 * 2) Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong
 * 3) Qingdao, China (later extension)
 * 4) Bali, Taiwan
 * 5) Capepisa, The Philippines
 * 6) Taean, South Korea
 * 7) Shima, Japan
 * 8) Ajigaura, Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan

Length: 19,500 kilometers

Capacity: 160 Gbit/s - upgradeable to 2.5 Tbit/s

Technology: DWDM (dense wavelength-division multiplex)

The C2C portion of the cable system comprises three rings:


 * C2C North Ring
 * C2C South Ring

The landing points on each ring are as follows:

C2C North Ring

 * 1) Chung Hom Kok, Southern District, Hong Kong
 * 2) Nasugbu, Batangas Province, Philippines
 * 3) Fangshan, Pingtung County, Taiwan
 * 4) Danshui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
 * 5) Nanhui District, Shanghai, China
 * 6) Pusan, South Korea
 * 7) Shima, Mie Prefecture, Japan
 * 8) Chikura, Chiba, Chiba Prefecture, Japan

C2C South Ring

 * 1) Hong Kong
 * 2) Nasugbu, Batangas Province, Philippines
 * 3) Vung Tau, Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu province, Vietnam
 * 4) Changi, Singapore

EAC-C2C Merger
In 2007, Asia Netcom (now Pacnet) merged the EAC cable system and the C2C cable system into a single EAC-C2C cable system, spanning 36,800 kilometers between Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore, connecting 17 cable landing stations. EAC-C2C cable system becomes the most resilient submarine network in Asia region.
