      make sure your optical cables are properly magnetized / demagnetized, too

      if the cables are running in a north/south direction you want them magnetized with oblong polarity to the Earth’s magnetic field, but if they’re east/west they shouldn’t be magnetized at all to avoid Maxwell-Gauss feedback loops
