Submarine cable across the Pacific

This was completed in 1902–03, linking the US mainland to Hawaii in 1902 and Guam to the Philippines in 1903.[5] Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji were also linked in 1902.[6]
The North Pacific Cable system was the first regenerative (repeatered) system to completely cross the Pacific from the US mainland to Japan. The US portion of NPC was manufactured in Portland, Oregon, from 1989–1991 at STC Submarine Systems, and later Alcatel Submarine Networks. (The plant was shut down in 2001.) The system was laid by Cable & Wireless Marine on the CS Cable Venture in 1991.
