There is a local mid-sized communications company here that ran the interconnect cable between two commercial buildings (underground). The data cable is a looonnnggg fiber zipcord patch cable. The voice is some sort of sprinkler (?) wire. There are two of them, and they are around 24 conductors each. They are not paired, and there are only 4 colors. That is a lot of fun to make work.
