9-527: The international portion of cable contains a single fibre pair specified for 32x10 Gbit/s wavelength each, with initial lit capacity of 2x10 Gbit/s. The domestic system has 2 pairs of fibres specified for 8x10 Gbit/s each, with an initial lit capacity of 2x2.5 Gbit/s. It has cable landing points at: The operator of this cable is the Office des postes et télécommunications de Polynésie française  [ fr ] (OPT). A monument commemorates

18-439: A branch from a main cable using a submarine branching unit . The branch can be several kilometres long. Cable landing points are usually carefully chosen to be in areas: Such locations are rare, and will usually be the shared landfall point for several cable systems. Frequently, there will be a nearby cable landing station, or cable termination station, which may well be shared between multiple cable systems, but in some cases,

27-501: A cross-channel telecommunications cable system. Submarine power cables can operate at many kilovolts: for example, the Fenno-Skan power cable operates at 400 kV DC . A cable termination station is the point at which the submarine cable connects into the land-based infrastructure or network. A cable termination station may be the same facility as the cable landing station, or may be many miles away. The termination station will usually be

36-400: Is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Cable landing point A cable landing point is the location where a submarine or other underwater cable makes landfall. The term is most often used for the landfall points of submarine telecommunications cables and submarine power cables . The landing will either be direct (in the case of a point-to-point cable system) or via

45-661: The cable at its landing point in Tahiti. On it, an inscription reads: "In memory of the people of Papenoo and of Hawai‘i, who established ties in the past: Tapuhe‘euanu‘u from Tapahi, who, fishing from his canoe, caught Hawai‘i the Great, Te‘ura-vahine from Ha‘apaiano‘o, the goddess Pere, who sought refuge in the volcano of Hawai‘i the Great, Mo‘iteha, King of Hawai‘i, who came back to Tahiti to build his marae Ra‘iteha at Mou‘a‘uranuiatea, Ra‘amaitahiti, his son, King of Tapahi, who brought his drum to Kaua‘i, To revive these ancient connections, Honotua

54-424: The cable may be laid many miles inland before reaching its termination point. A cable landing station may or may not be required, depending on whether, for example, the submarine cable requires power in order to provide power to submarine repeaters or amplifiers. The voltages applied to the cables can be high—3,000 to 4,000 volts for a typical trans-Atlantic telecommunications cable system, and 1,000 volts for

63-458: The cable termination station in Paddington . For power cables the term cable termination station is not strictly determined. It is either the point where the underwater cable ends and where the overhead powerline starts or if the whole line is implemented as cable, the first cable sleeve on the land. However one can also say that the substation or HVDC static inverter plant, where the connection to

72-520: The point where high-capacity 'backhaul' land-based network connects to areas of high demand, which are usually centres of high population density, rather than the usually remote locations of cable landing points/landing stations/termination stations. A good example of this is the Endeavour cable system which connects Australia to Hawaii. The cable landing point in Sydney is Tamarama Beach , four kilometres from

81-537: Was made: The submarine cable that links Tahiti to Hawai‘i. After quietly undulating in the deep sea, it has landed here, at Mamu (silence). Hopefully human ignorance will dissolve into silence and only knowledge will be conveyed." The cable was later extended by the Manatua One Polynesia Fibre Cable to connect to the Cook Islands , Niue and Samoa . This French Polynesia -related article
