EAC-C2C
# 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:

* Changi, Singapore
* Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong
* Qingdao, China (later extension)
* Bali, Taiwan
* Capepisa, The Philippines
* Taean, South Korea
* Shima, Japan
* 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

* Chung Hom Kok, Southern District, Hong Kong
* Nasugbu, Batangas Province, Philippines
* Fangshan, Pingtung County, Taiwan
* Danshui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
* Nanhui District, Shanghai, China
* Pusan, South Korea
* Shima, Mie Prefecture, Japan
* Chikura, Chiba, Chiba Prefecture, Japan

## C2C South Ring

* Hong Kong
* Nasugbu, Batangas Province, Philippines
* Vung Tau, Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu province, Vietnam
* 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.
