Not sure how many pairs, but that's a big piece of OSP cable.

When I worked outside, on the crew and with a splicer, years ago, I had a couple feet of 600 or 1200 pair cable. I seperated all the binder groups with colored ties. It was pretty impressive when I took it to school when my kids were little. The school had a day where parents came in and talked about their jobs, etc.

it looks like a 1200 pair, brings back many long lonely cold memories.

God help you if you lost your 'pairing', 'cause nobody else would!

Bunch of tenderfoots. If you mean "Western" cable being paper insulated lead sheathed with NO color code, then you know what a "real" cable splicer does. No crimp on connectors, either. Each wire in a 2,000 or 3,000 pair cable was hand twisted with a minimum of 12 twists and individually insulated with a cambric impregnated cloth "spaghetti" insulator. In the real world of early cable splicers, there was a large pot of molten lead which was tended by a splicer's helper. The cable splicer was revered among the telephone crafts people as being part scientist and part wizard. I never met of of them which wasn't "meaner than a junk yard dog." PIC cable is for sissies.
