{{Short description|Submarine communications cable network in East and Southeast Asia}}
'''EAC-C2C''' is a [[submarine communications cable|submarine telecommunications cable system]] interconnecting several countries in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. It is a merger of the former EAC (East Asia Crossing) and C2C cable systems.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telecomasia.net/content/asia-netcom-merges-eac-c2c-0 |title=Asia Netcom merges EAC with C2C |publisher=Telecom Asia |date=2007-09-14 |access-date=2014-06-28}}</ref> The merger occurred in 2007 by Asia Netcom, and the cable system is now owned/operated by [[Pacnet]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.optoiq.com/index/display/article-display/358680/articles/lightwave/news-amp-analysis/pacnet-upgrades-capacity-on-eac-c2c.html |title=Laser Focus World: Lasers, Photonics, Optics News and Laser Technology Advances |publisher=Optoiq.com |access-date=2014-06-28 }}{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
Pacnet was acquired by the Australian telecommunications company Telstra in 2015.

The C2C portion of the cable system comprises three rings:
*C2C North Ring
*C2C South Ring
The [[cable landing point|landing points]] on each ring are as follows:

==EAC-C2C Merger==
▲Length: 19,500 kilometers
In 2007, Asia Netcom (now Pacnet) merged the EAC cable system and the C2C cable system into a single EAC-C2C cable system, spanning 36,800 kilometers between Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore, connecting 17 cable landing stations. EAC-C2C cable system becomes the most resilient submarine network in Asia region.<ref name="Submarine Cable Networks">{{cite web
