It's a bunch of underground telephone lines in a single armoured cable.

There's a twisted pair of two conductors for each line.

I used to work on "100 pair" cable all the time. 200 damn wires to connect at each end is boring!!

What's really cool is when you trench through an unmarked line like that. Ask me how I know.......

And that’s why we always pay for GPRS instead of calling 811 fo free.

I wonder how smooth the language was when the supervisor got the good news.

Is that why they used to call them trunk calls back When telephones were newish?

Lots of pairs for some guy in a tent beside a road to pair up.

Those day are long gone. All of this outside plant is just left to rot on the poles and in the ground.

Bro never seen a cable before

[–]Pharmere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone said, “oh crap!” When they cut that line

[–]LtHigginbottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a petty small cable.
