A multi-fiber-optic oceanic cable apparatus (100) with about seven times greater stiffness than normal subsea fiber-optic apparatuses, making it significantly less prone to breakage underwater. The apparatus comprises layers (from a center and outward) of: a) a hollow copper or aluminum tube (2) encircling a plurality of fiber optic cables (1) able to transmit internet data, and encased in a lubricant (3); b) a hollow polycarbonate tube (6); c) an aluminum water barrier (7); d) a plurality of polygon shaped wires (5) (e.g. hexagons) touching on all sides, and covered in a polyester film/tape (4); and e) a hollow polyethylene tube (8). The apparatus with significantly increased stiffness carries multiple internet optical fibers in parallel through the center, and additionally, within hollow polygon shaped tubes with lubricant. This increase in stiffness and/or hollow polygon tubes allows for more fiber optic cables to be bundled together, thus exponentially increasing internet flow.
