Welcome to the OpenCape family, Scargo Cafe! 🍽️

(Full disclosure: We powered them up months ago, but we were waiting for the most "strategic" moment for the big reveal. )

We're proud to provide this local landmark with a 100% fiber backbone to keep their operations as smooth as their service. One more connection toward a future-proof Cape Cod.

This #drone was found crashed in or near US military base in Bagdad.

This is a #fiberoptic FPV drone. Cheap and unjammable. Silent. Radar signature of a bird. Precise. Deadly.

With these, Ukraine has been punishing the much larger Russian army to a retreat.

If I was USA, I would be very, very afraid.

But you only know to be afraid of this teeny weeny object, if you’ve closely followed the Russo-Ukrainian war!

Okay, new fiber to the office is in the conduit and the old fiber (both the working multi-mode fiber and the too-short single-mode fiber)'s all bundled up and put away! That took forever, but it was worth it! And hey, that's one more SFP+ port open on my Brocade ICX-7250 switch, since now the office is on the same breakout cable from the Mellanox SX6036 as the living room!

Russia helps Iran kill US troops in US bases in Iraq.

We have video evidence #Iran-linked militias posted flying #fiberoptic attack #drones into a US base in Iraq.

Russia pioneereed this technology in Ukraine.

Iranian Shahed drones now carry Russian technology. #Ukraine confirmed this last week.

Gulf states and US military has asked Ukraine for help.

What does dumbass in charge do? ”We don’t need Ukraine’s help!”, and drops sanctions on Russian oil!

Smooch, smooch, slurp, slurp.. 🤦‍♂️

Great improvement for free air optic bandwidth and performance, for a cost much lower than installing and lighting fiber. However it is still susceptable to inclement weather.

Ukraine’s new mysterious weapon looks like sphere on camera and shoots down drones with beam

"The drone doesn’t explode. It doesn’t fall. "

" Ukrainian journalist Andrii Tsaplienko has released footage showing the combat use of a new Ukrainian weapon. The video shows a directed beam, similar to a laser, cutting the fiber-optic cables used by Russian forces to control so-called “waiting drones.” "

Ukraine's new mysterious weapon looks like sphere on camera and shoots down drones with beam - Euromaidan Press

Footage shows Ukraine testing a new weapon that cuts fiber-optic cables controlling Russian “waiting drones".

Euromaidan Press

China has raised prices of fiber optic cables, which are critical for drone control, by 2.5-4 times for Russian buyers, according to Russian media.

At the beginning of 2025, G.652D fiber, used in telecommunications cables, cost 16 yuan ($2.33) per kilometer in China, and in January 2026, it already cost 40 yuan ($5.80) per km.
