"Teniendo en cuenta los tendidos centrales de electricidad y telefonía fija" en ese período, "el robo alcanzó a 6302 kilómetros de cable, el doble de la distancia entre Ushuaia y La Quiaca. Si se tomara en cuenta la telefonía (en kilómetro par, es decir, derivaciones) la cifra alcanzaría aproximadamente los 420.000 kilómetros par de cable", se indicó en el informe distribuido a la prensa.

pair kilometre


Explanation:
I assume this means two one-kilometer lengths laid side by side.

Example sentence(s):
  • From an analysis of cable engineering and assignment records, determine the equivalent pair kilometers in use for each category by type of facility, e.g., quadded, paired.
  • By the early 1990s, optical fiber that transmitted from 560 to 2,000 megabits per second were physically smaller and cost less per pair-kilometer than coaxial cables with only a fraction of the capacity.

agree  Jennifer Levey: Right translation, wrong assumption. It actually means: "one 1-km length of 2-core cable" (known as a 'pair' in telephony).
