AUSTRALIA-JAPAN CABLE

Australia-Japan Cable (AJC) is a submarine cable directly connecting Australia and Japan, via Guam. The cable configuration comprises two physically separate cable stations connected by fibre in each of Australia, Guam and Japan enabling continuing access to each country should any repairs be required to one of the two landings to a country. To enable onward connectivity the AJC network provides access to high capacity, high volume, low unit cost trans-Pacific and intra-Asia cables via Guam and Japan. AJC was upgraded with 40G technology in mid 2012 and with 100G technology in late 2013 and early 2014. Another 100G upgrade was completed in September 2018 which resulted in AJC equipped to about 5,000Gbit/s Australia-Guam-Japan with a potential capability to over 10,000Gbit/s, enabling further upgrades as required...
