Oh, OK. I was just used to the 10Mb cable we used being slightly larger than
the 3Mb cable we used.

As can be seen in the photos, the 3Mb stuff (at least, the stuff we used) was
also solid. The diameter of the center was a little smaller on the 3Mb than on
the 10Mb; .16mm versus .23mm; not sure if that was just happenstance, or what.
