10x is a fair estimate of cost vs regular armored fiber cable. Source: I've laid subsea cable.

- aynyc 6y agoJust to be sure, you mean 10x between subsea cable and regular armored fiber cable, not cat6 I can get from best buy.
- iptrans 6y agoYes, not that there's a large difference. Best Buy has pretty large markups, especially on short CAT6 cables. You can buy subsea cable for $10-$20 per meter. EDIT: the cost depends on how many layers of armoring you require. Deep sea cable requires less, shallow sea cable more.
