Remember Crocodile Dundee saying "That's not a knife, THIS is a knife."   Well, 
if you want to see long cable spans, take a look at this:

2.5 inch Kevlar able with 500,000 lbs breaking strength, 15,500 ft horizontal 
span and 2,500 ft vertical drop hung between two mountaintops, operating 
tensions from less than 20,000 to 150,000 lbs, and 20,000 lb lift capability.
