      They’re very similar, except where a communications fibre will have maybe six or eight fibres joined together, my fibre is made of more than a hundred! Most of the people I work with are using a fibre with even more: somewhere around eight to ten thousand fibre cores packed into just over half a millimetre. It’s pretty cool stuff.
