Re: Monster Cable

It would be nice to have something in the pic to provide scale. Any one know the diameter of that stuff?

Just curious

The inside conduit that actually holds the fiber is probably about the size of a pencil. I'd say that one on the right with three layers of armor is about 1.5" in diameter. What I'm curious about is why they didn't run more strands in the conduit, that looks like maybe a dozen strands or so. Sure I know DWDM will let you run multiple wavelengths on each strand and even let you effectively run the transmit and receive on one strand cutting down the need for a pair for each circuit but still that doesn't seem like much.
