How congested are undersea network cables? I naively assumed that the deployment was so expensive that the cable diameter(stands?) would be hilariously over provisioned so that the available bandwidth would far eclipse present needs.
- okdood64 3y agoI had understood past a certain point diameter doesn't add bandwidth?
- lukevp 3y agoI think they mean diameter of multiple strands, routed together in the same jacket
- supertrope 3y agoDeployment is most of the cost so based on that you'd think they'd choose 288 strands. But amplification requirements go up with strand count. So the solution used is single digit number of strands with many wavelengths.
