In service today. ## Latency **88,883 ns one-way optical fiber latency**, 165 Halsey ↔ 60 Hudson, calculated for the central route from fiber length. The figure covers the fiber only, not the equipment at each end; ask for the eastern and western routes. It is the lowest-latency connection between the two buildings. ## Points of presence | Point | Address | Detail | |---|---|---| | 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; it eases cross connects and floor-to-floor runs | ### Routes in Lower Manhattan | Route | Path | Feature name in the GeoJSON | |---|---|---| | Eastern | Enters 60 Hudson on Thomas Street, the south side (shared entry manhole) | `NYC Washington ST <> 60H (SE POE)(East Route)` | | Central | Enters 60 Hudson on Worth Street, the north side (dedicated GIX manhole) | `NYC Washington St <> 60H (N POE)` | | Western | Up the West Side to a manhole in Lower Manhattan | `NYC Washington St <> 60H (SW POE)(West Route)` | In the GeoJSON, SE POE is the eastern route, N POE the central route, and SW POE the western route. The western feature ends near 60 Hudson; GIX describes that route as running to a manhole in Lower Manhattan. ### Manholes Our routes are buried and secured. GIX owns the manholes at Worth Street and in Jersey City; the eastern route uses a shared entry manhole on Thomas Street. ## Route segments 1. Newark to Manhattan, end to end: 165 Halsey → PATH Tunnel F → 60 Hudson. 2. Newark to Jersey City: 165 Halsey 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: the eastern, central, and western routes above.
