#SCMP writes that #ccp #China has revealed a #cablecutter that will be able to cut #cables in the bottom of the seas regardless if they are fortified or not.

Continued thread

All the wires have been crimped! This was very tedious and repetitive. But after the first few done, it went relatively smoothly.
I only had to make two wires longer.
Connector list:
- ten six-pin JST
- three two-pin JST
- one four-pin JST
- one ten-pin DuPont
It looks very cramped, but it works!
The steps are ordered columns first, like this:
1 3 5 7 9
2 4 6 8 10
Else, I would have needed to make more wires longer.
