How is subsea cable repaired?
pchristensen: If you havent seen it, you owe it to yoiurself to read Mother Earth, Motherboard: https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/A Neal Stephenson long read about undersea cables. So good!

mett36: thank you!
staticshock: I can't believe this article does not mention what I think is the most puzzling part of the repair: the delicate process by which the individual fibers are FUSED TOGETHER in a way that maintains near perfect total internal refraction.
