2.5 Tb Initial Design Capacity
• 8 FP landed in Singapore, 4 FP to Jakarta
FP x λ x BW = Total
4 x 64 x 10G = 2.56 Tbps
• BW = 10G = STM64 = 10Ge
• Demux > STMn, DS3, E1, 10/100/100 Mb Ethernet

Types of faults
• Shunt Fault
• A disturbance to the cable system (eg: anchor hit,
fishing trawler) that cause the damaged to the cable
insulation and exposed the copper section that
carries electricity being short circuit to the sea water.
The cable system continues to carry traffic.
• Total Cut
• Total cut of the cable

Preventive Maintenance
• Shunt Fault Repair
• Capacity Upgrades
• Backhaul DF maintenance
• Software upgrades of active devices (SLTE, Mux, DWDM)

Corrective Maintenance
• Finding the fault location
• Activate SEAIOCMA (South East Asia & India Ocean Cable Maintenance Agreement)
• Swing to restoration capacity
• Permit, repair, testing
