Estimated to be approximately 5,000 kilometers in length, spanning between Hong Kong SAR and Singapore, the SEA-H2X cable will consist of at least 8-fiber pairs with a design capacity of 160 Tbps. Employing state-of-the-art optical submarine transmission equipment, this high-performance connection will provide high-speed and low-latency, data connections for customers within the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) region, in preparation for the impending 5G era.
The SEA-H2X cable will land at the Cable Landing Station & irix DC @ Santubong 1 in Santubong, Kuching, and is targeted to be ready for service in 2024.
