In this Sept. 23, 2016 photo three small bundles of fiber optics, each containing 12 fiber strands, are unraveled for testing after the cable was brought to shore in Haines, Alaska, for the Alaska Power and Telephone Company. The fibers are protected within a copper tube surrounded by multiple layers of steel. The cable is the first fiber-optic link between Juneau and the northern end of Lynn Canal and the first significant undersea fiber link constructed by AP&amp;T.
