    does it destroy the actual glass cable, or does it get inside and travel along the optic path and burn out the transceiver? burning the glass to breaking point seems like it would take a heck of a lot of energy, so i assumed it was attacking the light sensors at each end of the line, but people keep saying it’s actually breaking the glass.
