Brookhaven, NY, located on the coast of New York in the United States, serves as a landing point for two transatlantic and intra-American submarine cables. Its position on the northeastern seaboard of the United States makes it a natural terminus for cables connecting North America to Europe as well as to U.S. island territories in the Caribbean. The two cables landing here — Atlantic Crossing-1 (AC-1) and Mid-Atlantic Crossing (MAC) — together represent both an intercontinental corridor reaching across the Atlantic Ocean and a regional link extending into the western Atlantic.
Among the most notable cables landing at Brookhaven, NY is Atlantic Crossing-1, a long-haul transatlantic system stretching 14,301 kilometres and linking the United States with Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Alongside it, Mid-Atlantic Crossing provides connectivity southward to the U.S. Virgin Islands, rounding out Brookhaven's role in both intercontinental and intra-U.S. submarine cable infrastructure.
Atlantic Crossing-1 (AC-1) is a transatlantic submarine cable system measuring 14,301 kilometres in length, with a ready-for-service (RFS) date of 1998. In addition to Brookhaven, NY, the cable connects to landing points in Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, forming a direct link between the northeastern United States and three major Western European nations.
Mid-Atlantic Crossing (MAC) spans 7,500 kilometres and entered service in 2000. The cable connects Brookhaven, NY with the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as other points within the United States, providing an intra-American route across the western Atlantic Ocean.
Within the United States submarine cable landscape — which encompasses 113 cables across 160 landing points — Brookhaven, NY hosts 2 cables, placing it in the top 84% of U.S. landing points by cable count. Compared to higher-density hubs such as Boca Raton, FL and San Juan, PR (each hosting 8 cables), or Hermosa Beach, CA and Myrtle Beach, SC (each hosting 5), Brookhaven, NY represents a more specialised landing point focused on a distinct set of transatlantic and Caribbean routes.
Brookhaven, NY functions as a two-cable landing point enabling distinct but complementary connectivity corridors. Through AC-1, it anchors a transatlantic link to Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom — one of the most significant long-distance routes in global telecommunications. Through MAC, it extends U.S. domestic submarine connectivity to the Virgin Islands, serving an intra-American regional arc across the western Atlantic.
While Brookhaven, NY does not rank among the highest-volume cable hubs in the United States by cable count, its combination of a long-haul transatlantic system and a Caribbean regional cable gives it a footprint that spans two geographically and functionally different segments of the global submarine cable graph.
