Couldn't tell you how many pairs

Looks like a 600pair cable.

I have had to work all night on several occasions fixing 2100 cables that have been cut. I remember one that was cut on 17 a few days before July 4th in '03 or '04 and it took 15 guys all night to fix. I was coming into the office with my truck and backhoe and happen to drive by as they were needing a tractor to dig up the cut cable. Needless to say I got stopped by my buddies and had to help out. I worked 24 hrs straight that time. I had to wait for a fresh person to drive the truck and tractor home after I had worked over the 15hrs. allowed to be able to drive the big truck in to the plant. A 2100 cable is 5" in diameter and weighs a lot.
