The Havfrue/AEC-2 submarine cable is a high-capacity fiber-optic cable system that connects the United States, Denmark, and Ireland. The cable system is owned and operated by a consortium of telecommunications companies including Aqua Comms, Bulk Infrastructure, Facebook, Google, and others.
The cable system spans a distance of approximately 7,200 kilometers and has a total capacity of 108 terabits per second. It consists of six fiber pairs, which provide a high level of redundancy and reliability.
The Havfrue/AEC-2 submarine cable system was designed to provide high-speed, low-latency connectivity between the United States and Europe. It is capable of supporting a wide range of applications, including cloud computing, high-definition video streaming, and other data-intensive services.
The construction of the Havfrue/AEC-2 submarine cable system began in 2018 and was completed in late 2020. The cable system was built using the latest submarine cable technology and is expected to provide reliable, high-speed connectivity for many years to come.
