Southern Cable Group Bhd is a Malaysia-based company engagedin manufacturing cables and wires. The Company's product portfolio includescables and wires used for power distribution and transmission, communications,as well as control and instrumentation applications. The Company's offeredcables and wires are used across various industries that range from powerdistribution and transmission, building and construction, infrastructure,telecommunications, manufacturing and processing industries including oil andgas processing and petrochemical plants.

In April 2008 this capacity was doubled, and was once again upgraded to 860 gigabit/s at the end of 2008. Southern Cross upgraded the existing system to 1.2 Tbit/s in May 2010.[1] After successful trials of 40G technology the first 400G of a planned 800G upgrade has been completed in February 2012, and the remaining 400G was completed in December 2012.[2]

An additional 400G was deployed utilizing 100G coherent wavelength technology in July 2013, taking total system capacity to 2.6 Tbit/s, with an additional 500 Gbit/s to be deployed per segment by Q2 2014, increasing total system capacity to 3.6 Tbit/s. About every two or three years, the Southern Cross Company makes an effort to upgrade the cables in some way or another.[3] In June 2014 a further 900 Gbps was added.[3] The system currently runs at circa 10Tbs employing a mix of 100Gbs, 200Gbs and 250Gbs wavelengths.

In 2013 the New Zealand Herald reported that the owners of the Southern Cross cable had asked the United States National Security Agency to pay them for mass surveillance of New Zealand internet activity through the cable.[4] In May 2014, John Minto, vice-president of the New Zealand Mana Party, alleged that the NSA was carrying out mass surveillance on all meta-data and content that went out of New Zealand through the cable.[4]

In August 2014, Russel Norman, New Zealand Green Party co-leader, stated that an interception point was being established on the Southern Cross Cable.[5] Norman said that as the cable is the only point of telecommunications access from New Zealand, this would allow the Government to spy on all phone calls and internet traffic from New Zealand.[5] Norman's claims followed the revelation that an engineer from the NSA had visited New Zealand earlier in the year to discuss how to intercept traffic on the Southern Cross cable.[5]

The office of John Key, New Zealand Prime Minister, denied the claims but admitted that they were negotiating a "cable access programme" with the NSA but refused to clarify what that was or why the NSA was involved.[5]

In late 2007, Southern Cross Cable's operations vice president, Dean Veverka, confirmed that hurricane strength storms and flooding had wiped out the carrier's Oregon cable route and halved its bandwidth capability between Australia/New Zealand/Fiji and United States for a short period of time, albeit customer services were restored via the systems alternate path. A Southern Cross customer (iiNet) said that emergency works have been organised to perform a more permanent fix for the damage to the cable. These works were performed on 3 February 2008 at 12 midnight AEST.[6]

In March 2008, the then head of Telecom Wholesale, Matt Crockett, mentioned to the National Business Review that there had been a recent undersea earthquake that impacted a shunt on the Southern Cross Cable. However, due to the Cable's redundancy and spare capacity, users experienced no change in access or speed.[7]

Construction of the cable began in July 1999, laid by the ship CS Vercors, and the system was in use by customers by November 2000. Additional works and upgrades have since taken place to increase the network's capacity to 480 Gbit/s. In August 2007, SC Cables contracted with Alcatel-Lucent to upgrade the cable to 660 Gbit/s by the end of the first quarter 2008 and to 860 Gbit/s by the end of 2008, with future upgrade also by Alcatel-Lucent to 1.2 Tbit/s in May 2010.[8] The cable has since been upgraded to over 10Tbs of capacity with a further >10Tbs of capability available on the existing system. The Southern Cross NEXT system will add a further 72Tbs of capability to the network by the end of 2021.

The cable was a private investment and there was in estimated $1.5 billion spent on the initial system development.[9] The company is owned by Spark New Zealand, SingTel/Optus, Telstra (as of December 2019) and Verizon Business.[10] The cables are the result of an agreement between companies Spark Trading, Optus, MFS Globenet, and Southern Cross. The agreement was reached between the companies in 1997 as a response to unexpected growth of the internet that created a need for a submarine cable link connecting the West Coast and Australasia.[3]

Southern Cross NEXT is a new route addition to the Southern Cross cable eco-system. This new addition began construction in 2019 and was forecast to be completed by 2022.[11] When finished, the new link will be the largest capacity data link between Sydney, Auckland, and Los Angeles at 16,148 km (10,034 mi).[11] The cable is predicted to cost around $300 million and is owned by the Southern Cross group of companies.[11] When finished, Southern Cross NEXT will be able to carry up to 72 terabits per second.[12]

The NEXT cable will not be marketed as a stand-alone cable, but rather is designed to be an extension of the original Southern Cross network. The Southern Cross group companies are funding this new segment, through debt and equity arrangements, with the Australian Telecommunication company, Telstra, entering as a new shareholder of the Southern Cross companies.[13] Spark New Zealand announced that Telstra was becoming a 25% stakeholder in the cables in August 2019, at the same press conference they announced that Southern Cross NEXT was fully approved.[13]

Southern Cross NEXT entered service in July 2022.[14] The cable starts from the Clovelly in Sydney to Los Angeles, where it will give carriers lower latency connections between Australia and the US. Branching units on the way link New Zealand, Fiji (to the islands of Suva and Savusavu), Kiribati and Tokelau.[15]

A number of Pacific Island cables interconnect with Southern Cross, including the Tonga Cable System, the Interchange Cable System to Vanuatu, the TUI-Samoa cable linking Samoa to Fiji, and the Gondwana-1 system linking Australia to New Caledonia. The Honotua cable system links French Polynesia to the Southern Cross system in Hawaii.

KEDAH: Cable and wire manufacturer Southern Cable Group Berhad reported a net profit of RM14.1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 (1Q24), more than doubling the RM5.1 million recorded in the corresponding quarter last year, marking its eighth consecutive quarter of earnings growth.

The robust performance was driven by a 29.5% surge in revenue to RM312.0 million in 1Q24,

from RM240.9 million previously, on increased demand for power cables and wires across various industries, as well as higher average selling prices. Additionally, improved margins due to lower raw material costs and better product mix contributed to the strong results.

The Power cable and wires segment made up 89.1% of total group revenue in 1Q24.

The segment recorded revenue growth of 29.0% to RM277.9 million, from RM207.8 million previously, driven by increased sales to various sectors including power transmission and distribution, construction, and infrastructure.

The remaining 10.9% of revenue was derived from the sales of communications, control, and instrumentation cables and wires, along with other related products and services, collectively grew 3.0% to RM34.1 million in 1Q24, from RM33.1 million previously primarily due to higher sales of aluminium rods.

To capitalise on growth opportunities, Southern Cable is expanding its production capacity.

In May 2024, the Group acquired a 7.9-acre industrial land with an existing building adjacent to its current facilities in Kuala Ketil, Kedah, for RM14.0 million. The newly acquired property will enable the Group to scale up production and meet the increasing demand both domestically and in the United States (US).

The residence halls are divided up into housing specifically for upperclassmen, freshmen, and transfer students. The residence halls are gender specific. CSU does not have co-ed housing. Rooms are assigned on a first-come basis. New student housing is assigned based on the completion of requirements, requests, and availability. We do our best to accommodate all requests. Every effort is made to match roommates based on the information provided in the roommate questionnaire.

Our washers are front loading and have four cycles: Permanent press, Normal hot, Normal cold, and Delicate. These cycles range from 23-29 minutes. Washers should be loaded loosely three-fourths of the way full. Overloading the washers or putting detergent in incorrectly can cause damage to the machines. Dryers have four cycles as well: High, Medium, Low, and Delicates.
