10.10 Fibre Optic Cable
C²I² Systems advised that a decision regarding fibre optic cable was required in order to make further progress with the fibre plant design as well as provide a final offer regarding IMS development.

Local cable would be less expensive, but would probably not comply to the requirements of the system specification. ATC had also proved unreliable, both in this project as well as Project Oyster. SAFENET-specified cable was significantly more expensive, but would be more dependable as well as meet all, if not most specified requirements.
