Copper cabling Explanation: This refers to the generally obsolescent copper wire networks which telecoms users (e.g telephone companies, railways, military) built up over the years and which are now being augmented and replaced by fibre cables. In Sweden, the longer wider networks were called "Mellanortsnät" (intercity nets?) but in anglophone countries, names like "backbone network" "general twisted pair copper network" "interconnectors" are used. It is thus difficut to translate directly http://www.postvagnen.com/forum/index.php?mode=thread&id=906... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2018-11-13 15:03:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I was cut off in my prime there!
