So do it? Steel is cheap and recyclable.

  It's also heavy and won't be recycled till we can landfill mine. Now your short cables need heavy steel and fiber just to make long cables possible. Or else you have to have fiber+high speed copper in one connector.

    > won't be recycled Fine the shit out of people who don't recycle. Anything's possible if we put our minds to it.

      First you have to make it practical to recycle at all. We don't even have recycling for bottles and cans here.

      Considering recycling is stupidly uneconomic for all but a tiny selection of materials and just makes the whole carbon issue even worse, why would we do that? Hell, for plastic throwing it in a landfill is only second best to never making it in the first place.
