PPC-1 will link Sydney, Australia with Piti, Guam via a 6,900km submarine cable. Along the way, the cable will pass some of the most well-known sites and features of the ocean, such as the Great Barrier Reef and the Marinas Trench.
PPC-1 will be buried off Sydney to 2000m water depth at a burial depth of 1.5 metres to protect the cable from fishing activity on the Australian continental shelf. The cable will follow the Eastern seaboard of Australia laying at the base of the continental slope to avoid any slumping events as it makes its way into the Solomon and Bismarck seas, before heading almost due North to Guam. The cable has 4 branching units - one off Sydney, one off Brisbane, one off Port Moresby and the final off Madang.
