I used to work for a bank, but then I lost interest.
Marcos Amparo lol
Lmao
Love your videos man!
Marcos Amparo this comment is slowly killing me
That joke is so cheesy but it gets me every time lol!
Are these guys the reason my internet is being so bad?
Probably yup
SwagNinjaKitty it was a joke...
RobinHood East no
living with that 1.5 mbs dowload speed !!!
Yep SO PETS MAKE EM DIE
why would you cut it in half when you already have two ends that are cut??
D. Weemhof about to say this
because youtube revenue
Exactly!
Wouldn't make as good a video i guess. Hey guys here is a undersea internet cable. Lets look at it!
I agree with all of you
probably could of just taken the tape off of one end... lol
Bsaint lol
what's "could of"
György Kozmér, it means that they had the option to do it but didn’t.
I think he is referring to Bsaint writing "could of" instead of "could have" which is an incorrect substitution. It is either could've or could have.
He said in beginning that he wants to cut his own cross section
its already cut at the both end ??? why still cut at the middle ????
+Albert Chan46 that's what we do.
What's Inside? Their just that awesome.
Albert Chan46 agree, they shouldv cut it lengthwise
Albert Chan46 it had things that covered the edges I think
Albert Chan46 Cuz dats WUT DEY do bro
The cable is already cut from the sides?? 😂🖖
DVLOGS ash pokemon good
DVLOGS 👏👏👏👏
Hey! I recognised you! I visited your store and I remember you told me about your channel, found you randomly after 6 months here. Nice videos!
ikr, and he was excited to know whats inside 😂😂😂
Brainlet king.
i like how they taped the ends of the wire to not reveal what's inside as it would defeat the purpose of cutting it open and wasting our time. Nice one lads.
Pasha32511 it's taped for protection - metal ends could be sharp. Definitely easier to peel the tape off instead of cutting. But they cut it for the video. I'm sure no one thought "we're gonna tape the ends so you will be forced to cut it".
I just found this channel, I have worked for Internet service providers since 1998, the Internet hasn't used satellites in a long time because of the latency (the light speed time delay of transmitting a signal up to the satellite and back down to its destination). The hardest part about fiber optic connections is signal loss, so the cables you cut open are connected, at intervals, to repeaters that are also waterproof and designed to work at the bottom of the ocean. The fibers themselves don't really need to be upgraded that often for an increase in speed, it's these repeaters and the endpoints that need to be upgraded to increase the speed of a run.
Food for thought.
Couldn't you just have looked at the end ? I know this is what's inside but I'm just wandering was the saw necessary ?
We cut things open on our channel. Nat and Lo already had an incredibly insightful video of whats inside, they wanted to challenge us to see if we could cut it in half.
Duct tape is stronger than the internets.
What's Inside? Could you sub to my channel
CrazyPieKiller Subs are always earned, never given.
cade mayberry Why would you ask is the saw necessary? By now you shoulda noticed the saw everything open, pokeballs, lincoln's balls, and golf balls. Not just balls, even an olympic torch...
So cool!
+aditya sharma awesome. Thanks for coming over!
IKR
hi zack!!
JerryRigEverything hey Jerry you here and nope that was not cool because he should just look to end side without cutting it
JerryRigEverything
Unlike you.
Ehehehehehe.
Why are you cutting a cable that's already been cut?
Martin King wats inside is what he was going for
@@genarothetruth5083 oh my
Isn't the cable already cut in cross-section at the ends though...?
It really is fascinating how you can upload a video and have two people watch it at once. Technology is great!
You should try this video thing sometime. :P

Good video guys!
TH-cam TH-cam omg hi TH-cam
Couldn't you just take the tape off the end?
Dan Hyde they had to expose the glass cables inside
Tyler but the wire was already cut and they just put tape at the end.
"It's kinda like when you hold a meteorite"
Yeah... because that's something everyone can relate to.
Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing this!! All this time Ive been wondering how this was made..
Can You Cut Open A Mood Ring?
THE FAMOUS YES
that's a pretty good suggestion
yussssssssssssssssssss
you are awesome
THE FAMOUS one time I broke one in half and the color just turned black
5:20 yeah what do u mean....thats why we pay for internet...
I hear ya, I'm just saying even though we pay for certain things and expect something outstanding in return, doesn't mean we can't be grateful for the amazing technology it is and show some patience when it isn't 100% working. Appreciate you watching!
What's Inside? yeah technology is deferent every generation as the years go the technology get better and better and i am not saying that i am not greatfull i am saying that if u are in the plain and u dont have internet then why did u pay all we want is social media... , and this is the first time that 1 ytber replyed to my comment....
The thing is, America's internet is dreadful. Just watch the Adam Ruins everything on internet to see why.
Being grateful for technology is one thing but your internet being up and running is like water flowing nowadays. We depend on it; our work, social life, entertainment and school are all connected to it. So when it fails to work properly nobody is going to be grateful, they will call their ISP and try to get it fixed. I don't suppose you would wait calmly if you couldn't upload your videos fast and trouble free. Being connected is not free and overpriced in most of the world, if you pay good money for something you also expect it to work properly.
Great episode! I manufacture medium voltage cable. My job is to install the jacket compound by use of an extruder. I've jacketed cable that is almost 5' in diameter. There is a lot of work that goes into making cable. While cable is not that exciting, it is sort of fun to see what's inside of it if you are not already familiar with it. The big cable I have made is three conductor, full of fillers and fun stuff with a thick jacket on it so that alligators and other critters cannot bite through it.
My son is a merchant mariner who works on a cable laying skip. He is an engineer responsible for feeding the cable to lay on it under bottom of the ocean (depending upon the sea depth) at the right tension to avoid injuring workers or breaking/tangling the cable. That's over
Simplified but the job requires a 4 year engineering degree and a USCG license he must keep current. It's a very high tech process sand a very unique job. He is out to sea across many continents all the over the world anywhere from 75 days to over 4 months at a time. A very cool job!
The thumbnail tells us what's inside-_-
SplashGaming yea lol. Sucks
SplashGaming It didn't tell you what you were looking at was nothing but protection
It's crazy how we're all connected by one cable!

"Which tells me there is going to be some heavy metal in here."
Heavy metal?
HEAVY METAL!?!?
Packed away somewhere I have a foot of a tether from MBARI (Monterrey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) which they used to connect their remotely piloted submersible vehicles with the command ship on the surface. It has a bright yellow jacket, with 5 electrical conductors to feed 3-phase power down to the submersible vehicle, and in the core 8 optical fibers. Two were used for ethernet, two for video from the cameras, and there were some dedicated to the control system which piloted the vehicle. The cable was custom made for MBARI by BIW (Boston Insulated Wire). The cable was wound on a large, motorized drum on the deck of the command ship. To maintain connection while the drum rotated, in its center were 5 slip rings for the electrical conductors, and 8 rotating optical joints for the fibers. The was a short piece of cable coming out of the center of the drum on the other side of the rotating couplers which went to the control room below deck.
They could not put any twists in the cable as they reeled it in, like the kinks which inevitably seemed to get in old-style telephone handset cords. They had a computer which kept track of how many times the the cable had been twisted by the motion of the submersible and the ship, and they had to sail the submersible and/or the ship in circles as the cable was reeled in to be sure there were no twists!
Super interesting! Always wondered about those underwater cables. Great that TH-cam gave you a place to cut them too! -John

what's inside an oversea internet cable
lesryglrhfohser the exact same..... If you use your brain
it was a joke, it's all cables i know it's all the same.
TheGhost bc it was a joke
TheGhost i thought it was funny that they had distinguish that it was undersea in the title when all internet cables are the same.
At least I got the joke... Very funny by the way.
"kind of reminds me of when you hold a meteorite"
that's so relatable!
What an amazing video and thank you....even years after 1st airing. I'm 75 and had no clue!
Super cool! Now I wanna see how they actually lay these cables all the way to Brazil! Can you do a video on that? 😉
Dyches Fam Simple, it's all coiled up on the ship and they constantly let one fall off the end while they sail to their destination.
Pilot Fur not always sometimes they are placed individually if they are old
Dyches Fam a boat
Dyches Fam he’s what’s inside not how it’s made
there are multiple videos on yt now and when you posted... you wanna know something, search it out. never been easier to get answers for the a complete laymen or virtually anything, take advantage man, take advantage.

They are called fiber optic cables they use flexible glass rods that are insulated so light travels through it untouched we control that light and transform it into data
I like how at the beginning Lincoln is just like "and this is dad" lol
What's inside an amazon echo dot????
i did'n't know that Mark Hoppus is a youtuber now.
They didn’t go all the way in. The colored parts are protective layers around the glass inside and then there are at least two layers of glass. The light is only in a 10 micron core in the middle.
it's 9 microns...
Shirhan Holmes
Not necessarily, depends on the fiber type.
Excellent! so refreshing to have the kids involved too! go you. Smart
I had no clue these were even a thing. This was way cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Super interesting to know this! We had fun learning on this one.
4:32 if you could see it clearly from the other side, why bother cutting it in half?
lol, exactly
This channel grew so fast man damn
Amazing
thanks for this hard work
"be grateful for the internet"
but i pay $110 for landline and 1TB of internet!
The Wide Open Life that's not a lot
i know its actually really good - we used to pay $160 per month for 25GB of 4G wireless because that was all we could get
The Wide Open Life Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking, I pay money for it. It's not a privilege.
Where do you live ?
Be grateful for the internet…???
Be grateful that the internet is the electronic way to monitor all your activities. This way they don’t have to physically follow you everywhere you go, its all electronic now.
Your cell phone tracks your every move, it can hear every conversation to say, it can watch everywhere you go by camera (remote activation)
Facebook ( the CIA’s greatest accomplishment) to track everyone and know ALL of your business…
Welcome to the digital world where if you own a computer, smartphone or internet, your life is NOT private anymore… (thank you Snowden)
I wouldn't make-do with an abrasive blade on a chop saw intended for wood cutting if I were either of you. :-(
Use a proper tool (e.g. sawzall for instance)
+RS 1990 the blade is specifically for cutting metal, not wood.
I know, but the instruction manual states that you should not use abrasive wheels because it's a 'Miter Saw', hence the dust bag.
The bag and the lower guard can be badly damaged by the sparks and so rendering the tool's warranty void.
There's a difference between an 'Abrasive Cut-Off Saw' and a "Miter Saw' but both work in similar ways.
Different blades require different guards.
For instance, an Abrasive Cut-Off Saw has a spark deflector at the rear, an adjustable vice for clamping the material and an abrasive cut-off wheel that's guarded only at 180 degrees.
A Miter Saw has the blade fully surrounded at 360 degrees by means of a retractable lower guard for safety reasons.
A toothed blade that is only half guarded & half exposed can be twice as dangerous as that of an abrasive wheel, hence why they should never be used on saws intended for cutting ferrous metal with an abrasive wheel.
You know, as a telecommunications engineering drafter for the past 6 years designing routes for fiber optic cable throughout the Midwest (based in Chicago) I only just recently learned that there are fiber optic cables spanning across the freaking oceans to allow us to communicate with one another cross-continentally.
My son is an engineer on a cable laying ship. I was also amazed at what he does. this video
This 4yr old video just popped up on my YT today and I had to watch it. It is a very amazing process
Amazing video. I learned soo much. I didn't know.
I'm amazed that those cables are thinner than an Ethernet cable, yet they can carry an entire country's worth of data. I thought they'd be more like the cables you see at power plants and such, several feet in diameter plus the protection. Like a sewer line or something. Amazing.
How many cables are there running between the different countries of the world?
Because your ethernet cable is running as analog, ie it is a power cable. This cable is fiber optic ie light ray.
And to your second question, not as many as you think. Look up a map of it online. An undersea earthquake can cut the internet of a small nation.
They can also transmit many different signals at the same time. So light has different wavelengths and using wavelength-division multiplexing they can transmit tons of data through them. As lasers become better and more precise, then can send more data through the cable without having to put a new one down, just change the lasers on each side.
Warrior Son I think the LHC is several feet in diameter for an example
Warrior Son I know that's the joke. the name is Large Hadron Collider.
And the copper cables are also running data to they just dont need to be as well protected as the fiber.
This is so cool like every video is cool am I right
Shado Cat yes you are my friend
Shado Cat yup
got to love them transatlantic cables its also the same way your calls are sent.
The company I work for pioneered the subsea cable burial market with the development of the subsea plough. We design and build vehicles that bury power and telecoms cables as well as subsea pipelines. There's some brilliant maps online showing cable routes across the globe.
So, what happens if someone finds it and cuts it?
I want to hear this get answered.

Tanner Thompson end of the world bro
Assuming you can dive deep enough and not die from the pressure, and also assuming you can cut this behemoth of a cable, I’m sure said person would probably go to prison for a very long time.
Tanner Thompson it will interrupt you watching this video. Lol
I thought Dan was wearing a onesie for a few seconds.
I wish.
its cool to hear something here in brazil happen. hopefully internet here will be faster. god i hate where i live. u guys are so lucky.
Finally! entertaining video from What's Inside
@5:30 I think that was Louis CK skit you were talking about.
liquidalloy yep it is. can't believe this guy watched a louis ck video i always thought this guy had a different taste in comedy lol
I agree, I would've never guessed he even knew who Louis CK was haha.
Louie did that bit on a late night talkshow
Yep that was Loui

Your channel is the best channel because you cut things we wonder about. I can see your future in TH-cam. Thanks for the video
Thank you!

I guess everytime i play csgo a giant shark bites the cable.
the comedian daniel was referencing was louis c. k. & it was during an interview on a late night talk show, worth a watch!
i studied about this in this semester nd glad to see it in online practical.
Blue tendo me too 😂
the under sea cable that connects indonesia to the internet is broken
im not sure about this but i heard that from an indonesian news website
and i live in indonesia so that explains why my internet is slow
I saw that in the news yesterday! Crazy timing.

M Isa tapi ngak semua daerah lelet internetnya

did you want to say that you are indonesian?
or did you want to say that you are from indonesia
So the copper is there to carry power to those amplifiers?
i thought fiber optic cables didn't need amplifiers?
Bayan Zabihiyan
over long distances, there would stil be losses i would imagine.
In the old days, we had a onetime state of the art, trans Pacific cable transmitting station based in Bamfield Vancouver Island BC Canada which existed from 1911 to 1959 it operated using Morse code with cables run to Hawaii, Australia and others which were layed down by big ships 100 years ago. our local museum in Port Alberni has an original century old cut open cable looking very much like the internet phone cable in this video.
Cooool ty!

which i urge people to go watch.
Great video. You guys should consider visiting a Data center to get a deeper look into how cloud infrastructure is built and how this enables the world to share content.
Why would u think it would be satellite, it would get interfered with so much and be slow, so cables only would be fast
And have you never seen them fixing or replacing the internet cables to your house!?
It's also not a surprise it's fibre optics because it has to be fast, it can't be DSL cable it would be to slow for everyone in the world
So if I go on a ship, will I get fast internet?
Bobby Jay
No,as the internet on the ship is transmitted by sattelites
Bobby Jay Probably
***** lol
I listened to a history podcast about the first time they laid cables across the Atlantic decades ago and it kept breaking part way across. They had to start over several times before they got across with years in between attempts. They being different groups of people.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
What if you put that cable in your pc?
Those cables do not run in http protocol. Even if they do they are fiber optics while your LAN cable is analog.
Oh
right with ethernet cables not being digital, but saying those cables do not run in http?wtf
LAN cables are digital, not analog.
"http protocol".. kek

love the way they taped the ends
The astonishing thing is that they have been laying undersea cables for 150 years. The first cables were for telegraph and were laid in the 1850s.
video starts from 3.50 thank me later
What's inside a ouijia board
Random Stuff wood and spirits
The amount of sparks is so awesome
The first Transatlantic telegraph line was completed in 1858. Tiffany & Co purchased all the remaining cable from the ship that had laid it, and cut it into pieces. Some were actually made into jewelry, but most of it was not sold when the cable failed a few months later! The cross section of that cable is pretty similar to this one.
What? Repeaters? Minecraft?
Andor_Yoko eheheheh as a redstone intermediate I find that funny
Wow I never new that I always thougt it was satelite !!!
so did i thats what i thought too
If it were entirely satellite then the connection would be really slow.
InsaneRandom it is

my internet connection is becoming slow , is it because of a shark biting these undersea cables ?

I like the fact that they cover the ends of this cable with duct tape, and then cut the thing in half with this underpowered saw. Seems legit xD
Thanks what's inside , I've been climbing trees or towers to have internet access but now I know I'm just gonna go to the beach and use faster internet from the ocean..
Seriously doubt that's an undersea cable. Undersea cables are bigger than that and they are more flexible.
HairyBottom I agree also they have alot more insulation.
It looks legit to me, this isn't winning any bend radius records, but it doesn't need to. If the cable was more flexible you would need more of it to go up and down the dips in the seafloor = ££. Stiffer means it will self-support over the dips. Also, there are only 8 cores and it has a power conductor. The only way this isn't an undersea cable is if it's an underlake cable, for a span of more than 15 miles, and even then, because it would still be so short, it would have far more cores than 8.
John Watkins I found out this is a legit cable, but it has a thick orange insulation layer on the outside when its actually installed.
Fiber optics aren't able to be flexed much. So, no :)
It is.
They vary.
The ends are taped over so that you cant see whats inside
Lo has the warmest smile I couldn't help but smile with her
