JUNO is a new submarine cable system connecting Japan and the United States, with a cable length of approximately 11,700km

The JUNO cable system introduces leading-edge SDM (Space Division Multiplexing) technology, enabling the provision of 20 fiber pairs (40 cores) per cable, compared with a maximum of 16 fiber pairs or 32 cores using conventional technology.

The JUNO cable system consists of the following segments: 

• Trunk between Minamiboso, Japan and Grover Beach, USA: 18 Tbps/FP (20FPs), 9,356 km
• Harbour Pointe branch: 18 Tbps/FP (14FPs), 1,450 km
• Shima branch: 18 Tbps/FP (14FPs), 904 km

The JUNO cable system will provide a system capacity of 360Tbps, the largest among all of the existing trans-pacific cable systems, followed by Google's Topaz cable system of 240Tbps over 16 fiber pairs, and Hawaiki Nui of 240Tbps and PLCN of 144Tbps.

The JUNO cable system will be owned and operated privately by Seren Juno Network Co., Ltd. (“Seren Juno”).
