 * Note. The caption on this page was garbled. I have replaced it with the original caption from Submarine communications cable which I assume is correct. 86.171.43.177 (talk) 03:36, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong oppose. It isn't a "cross-section" and it isn't a modern undersea cable. This image is quite misleading. This is based on a patent from 1978. Let's have something based on an actual product from this millennium please. -- Colin°Talk 10:03, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
