PAN-AM (Pan-American) is a submarine telecommunications cable system connecting the west coast of South America and the Caribbean, crossing the continent through Panama. It has a bandwidth of 5 Gbit/s.
The purpose of the cable is to connect energy infrastructure between Europe and Africa. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The Spain-Morocco interconnection includes two 400 kV lines, commissioned in 1997 and 2006 that have a combined power of 1,400 MW and consisting of seven cables: three for each circuit, plus one for reserve. [ 3 ]
The cable system is constructed from cables with 4 fibre pairs per cable, and each fibre pair supports 96 10 Gbit/s waves at construction, allowing for a total lit capacity (at construction) of 4 fibre pairs x 96 10 Gbit/s waves = 3,840 Gbit/s. It has two submarine cables, one with landing points in: Seixal, District of Setúbal, Portugal
A submarine power cable is a transmission cable for carrying electric power below the surface of the water. [1] These are called "submarine" because they usually carry electric power beneath salt water (arms of the ocean, seas, straits, etc.) but it is also possible to use submarine power cables beneath fresh water (large lakes and rivers).
This technology was developed in co-operation with SubCom, formerly a TE Connectivity company, [10] who built the cable and which also worked with Google on the Dunant and Curie cables. [11] The cable route comprises a 6,250 km stretch from New York to Widemouth Bay, Cornwall [12] and a 6,300 km route between New York and Bilbao. [13]
