According to reports, this single optical cable containing 2112 optical fibers has a diameter of 24mm, which is equivalent to 4.
7 optical fibers per square millimeter, which is currently the world's largest optical cable density
.

Jack Clements said, "The 24mm diameter allows it to fit within a 32mm cable duct (the inner diameter is 28mm) and maximizes
the use of space.
This is a revolutionary cable product that is designed to be very compact, lightweight and flexible, making it easier to install
