Re: Exterior cables in ground

Here in Australia the Telstra maintenance people often just wrap the stuff in a plastic shopping bag. Single use plastic shopping bags are in the process of being phased out, so I guess now they'll just use the Glad Wrap their lunch came wrapped in?

Yes, I'm well aware I'm talking about last mile copper phone / data connections, not undersea cables. I'll get my coat, it stops more water than your average plastic shopping bag.
