Pacific Caribbean Cable System (PCCS)

The Pacific Caribbean Cable System (PCCS) is a 6000km submarine cable connecting Ecuador, Panama, Colombia, Aruba, Curacao, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the United States.

The PCCS consortium comprises:

  • Cable & Wireless Communications (C&W Networks, a Liberty Latin America company)
  • Setar,
  • Cable Andino (Telconet),
  • Telxius, and
  • United Telecommunication Services (acquired by Liberty Latin America in 2019)

The PCCS has eight landing stations, including:

  • Jacksonville, Florida, USA,
  • Tortola, the British Virgin Island,
  • San Juan, Puerto Rico,
  • Hudishibana, Aruba,
  • Cartagena, Colombia,
  • Maria Chiquita, Panama,
  • Balboa, Panama, and
  • Manta, Ecuador.

PCCS cable route

The PCCS cable system consists of 9 segments, with 2 or 3 fiber pairs in most of the segments, and 8 fiber pairs in the segment between Tortola, BVI and Jacksonville, Florida. 

The PCCS cable system was initially designed with 8 fiber pair x 100 Gps x 100 wavelength DWDM technology, for the system capacity of 80 Tbps.

The PCCS cable system was supplied by Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks (ASN), ready for service on July 31, 2015.
