Is the exact positions public info or is it just crude positions? BTW, if the exact cable positions is public info, where is it available?

What do you consider 'exact'? Approximate positions are drawn on nautical charts, so that ships don't accidentally go and try to anchor in the vicinity. Plenty accurate enough for a ship to 'accidentally' drop an anchor and drag it along the seabed for miles.
I suspect the exact position is not known. The drop the cables over the side and currents make then drift on the way down.
