Ah 99 is small beer we used to join 100 pair cable when I worked at BT and that took some doing all the twists and jelly beans then heat shrink enclosure all to a diameter of about 50mm.

Big mistake was getting two guys to connect an end each. It was amazing the colour combinations they got. I got lumbered with the job of sorting it out.
