e/TAT-14

Information
has gloss	eng: TAT-14 is the 14th consortia transatlantic telephone cable system. In operation from 2001, it utilises wavelength division multiplexing. The cable system is built from multiple pairs of fibres—one fibre in each pair is used for data carried in one direction (say west to east) and the other in the opposite direction (east to west). Although optical fibre can be used in both directions simultaneously, for reliability it is better not to require splitting equipment at the end of the individual fibre to separate transmit and receive signals—hence a fibre pair is used. TAT-14 uses four pairs of fibres—two pairs as active and two as backup. Each fibre in each pair carries 16 wavelengths in one direction, and each wavelength carries an STM-64 (9,621,504 kbit/s as payload). The fibres are bundled into submarine cables connecting the United States and the European Union (United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark) in a ring topology.

Meaning
German
has gloss	deu: TAT-14 ist die Abkürzung für Trans Atlantic Telephonecable Number 14. Es ist ein leistungsfähiges Seekabelsystem, das Nordamerika über 2 Strecken mit Europa verbindet. Dabei ist die Bezeichnung Telephonecable (Telefonkabel) streng genommen nicht ganz richtig, da damit hauptsächlich binäre Daten (bspw. für das Internet) übertragen werden. Das TAT-14 wurde am 21. März 2001 nach zweieinhalbjähriger Bauzeit eingeweiht.

Dutch
has gloss	nld: TAT-14, voluit TransAtlantic Telephonecable Number 14, is de veertiende trans-Atlantische onderzeekabel tussen Europa en Noord-Amerika. Strikt genomen dekt de term telefoonkabel niet de lading, aangezien er vooral data (bijvoorbeeld, maar niet uitsluitend, internetverkeer) overheen getransporteerd wordt.
