FASTER submarine cable
Price and availability check
The invisible infrastructure of global connectivity
The FASTER submarine cable is one of the most important trans-Pacific cable systems and connects the west coast of the USA directly with Japan. As a joint project of leading technology companies, including Google, FASTER sets standards in trans-Pacific data communication and forms a cornerstone of the digital connection between North America and East Asia. Submarine cables like FASTER form the invisible foundation of global data traffic, as over 99% of international data flows through them rather than through satellites or the cloud.
Route & connection
FASTER connects Oregon (USA) with several landing points in Japan, including Chikura and Shima, as well as with Tanshui in Taiwan. This multi-point connection makes FASTER a particularly flexible trans-Pacific cable system, which also provides direct access to the Japanese and Taiwanese markets. With a total length of around 11,000 kilometers, the cable bridges the Pacific on one of the world’s most important data routes.
