Bill Schmoker: "I dissected a scrap of the discarded end of Vectran cable to see what was inside. Note the 4 electrical wires, each with color-coded insulation and a yellow polyurethane jacket to keep the bundle further insulated. Then there is the layer of braided Vectran, followed by the black outer polyester jacket. This cable has a breaking strength of about 7500 kilograms." Aboard the USCGC Healy in the Makarov Basin in the Arctic Ocean. 88.39°, 177.22°.
