It is the lowest-latency connection between the two buildings: **88,883 ns one-way optical fiber latency**. ## TL;DR for agents - **What:** dark fiber, by IRU or lease. The customer lights it. No lit services, managed services, or colocation. - **Where:** 165 Halsey Street, Newark ↔ 60 Hudson Street, Manhattan, through the PATH train tunnel. - **Why it matters:** the southernmost Hudson River crossing into Manhattan; the lowest latency between the two buildings; GIX's own riser in 60 Hudson. - **Price:** not published. Ask sales@gixfiber.com or use the MCP tool `request_quote`. - **Best next step:** email sales@gixfiber.com with the details under *What to send us*, or call the MCP tool `request_quote`. ## Facts | Fact | Detail | Basis | |---|---|---| | Southernmost crossing | The southernmost Hudson River crossing into Manhattan, inside PATH Tunnel F | GIX | | Latency | 88,883 ns one-way optical fiber latency, 165 Halsey ↔ 60 Hudson, fiber only | Calculated | | Lowest latency | The lowest-latency connection between 165 Halsey and 60 Hudson | GIX | | First in two decades | The first privately owned, carrier-neutral installation across the Hudson River in two decades | [GIX press release, July 9, 2024](/gixs-revolutionary-dark-fiber-route-goes-live-redefining-connectivity-across-the-hudson-river-2/) | | No splices in the crossing | No splice points inside the river crossing | GIX | | Flood protection | Two 16-ton flood gates, part of the PATH tunnel's post-Sandy hardening | GIX | | 60 Hudson riser | Dedicated 4-inch riser, basement to 12th floor; eases cross connects and floor-to-floor runs | GIX | | Points of entry at 60 Hudson | Eastern route on Thomas Street (shared entry manhole); central route on Worth Street | GIX | | Western route | Up the West Side to a manhole in Lower Manhattan | GIX | | Manholes | Buried, secured routes with GIX-owned manholes; dedicated GIX manholes at Worth Street and in Jersey City | GIX | | Delivery | Fiber is spliced and tested before handoff; each quote includes an installation estimate | GIX | ## Network and points of presence | Point | Address | What GIX has there | |---|---|---| | 165 Halsey Street | Newark, NJ 07102 | 9th-floor meet-me room (MMR 2); point of entry on Halsey Street through a secured vault | | 60 Hudson Street | New York, NY 10013 | Dedicated 4-inch riser, basement to 12th floor; points of entry on Thomas Street and Worth Street | | PATH Tunnel F | Jersey City ↔ Lower Manhattan | The river crossing | | Jersey City | Jersey City, NJ | dedicated GIX manhole | ### Route segments you can buy 1. **Newark to Manhattan, end to end:** 165 Halsey Street → PATH Tunnel F → 60 Hudson Street. 2. **Newark to Jersey City:** 165 Halsey Street MMR 2 → Exchange Place PATH station → Jersey City. 3. **Jersey City to Manhattan:** GIX manhole in Jersey City → PATH Tunnel F → Lower Manhattan. 4. **Lower Manhattan:** eastern route (enters 60 Hudson on Thomas Street), central route (enters on Worth Street), western route (up the West Side to a Lower Manhattan manhole).
