Abstract :
5.3 Gbit/s 11300 km data transmission using actual submarine cables and EDFA repeaters with 60 km spacing has been successfully achieved. The measured value of Q2=16.4 dB (corresponding to BER=2.1×10-11). This transmitted distance using the actual system is the longest reported to date, as far as the authors know
