Custom Dark Fiber Routes
DC BLOX’s capability to build custom dark fiber routes with its data centers enables a one-stop solution that reduces negotiation complexities, streamlines deployment, and accelerates the realization of our customer’s business objectives.
Existing Regional Dark Fiber Network
DC BLOX has built the first high-capacity, low-latency dark fiber East-West route from Lithia Springs, GA to Myrtle Beach, SC. The route connects into Atlanta’s Internet Exchanges and passes through Augusta and Charleston to the Myrtle Beach cable landing station offering connectivity to regional and International destinations.
Metro Ring
DC BLOX is also building a dark fiber metro ring around Atlanta connecting into the Atlanta East and Atlanta West hyperscale data center sites as well as to the East-West route. New dark fiber route options to suit specific customer needs are also available.
Regional Dark Fiber Network
Subsea Cable Opportunities & Connectivity
The strategic placement of our Myrtle Beach, SC Cable Landing Station presents a prime opportunity for subsea cable landings, offering potential capacity to accommodate additional subsea cables. Leveraging our robust infrastructure, hyperscale operators can seamlessly land new subsea cables, providing a valuable gateway for enhanced global connectivity into the Southeastern US.
Our comprehensive dark fiber network extends from the cable landing station in Myrtle Beach to the bustling technology hub of Atlanta, ensuring low-latency, high-speed connectivity for data transit.
DC BLOX Hyperscale Data Center Locations
Our hyperscale portfolio boasts 484 planned megawatts across multiple locations throughout the Southeastern US. With over 200 acres available for campus growth, we can aid you in accelerating regional deployment of your services.
Atlanta East
Atlanta East is just 24 miles east of Atlanta with 68 acres of land and over 1 million square feet of data center space with 144MW of critical power available at full build-out. DC BLOX also plans to build a dark fiber ring around the Atlanta metropolitan area as part of the project. The ring will provide significant new fiber capacity for campus tenants and will also provide a resilient connection to the DC BLOX dark fiber route transiting from Atlanta to its Myrtle Beach, SC Cable landing station, offering global connectivity options.
Atlanta West
Strategically located on 55 acres next to Microsoft’s 300-acre facility and 2.5 miles from Google. Total capacity of 1,250,000 square feet with 200MW critical load and offering N+1 redundancy, a high-density design, and provisions for liquid cooling. Also boasting two central meet-me rooms and dark fiber to 56 Marietta Street, 180 Peachtree Street, and the Myrtle Beach cable landing station.
