The cables are bundles of incredibly fine fiberoptic strands. Each strand is used to the maximum- i.e. very fast state-of-the-industry optical switches cramming as much data through as possible. In terms of privately-owned globe-spanning infrastructure, I can’t imagine something more vital than these undersea cables at the moment.
