Faraday depolarization estimates of thermal densities within the components of double radio sources agree well with estimates from X-ray observations of hot halos around early-type galaxies, provided magnetic field strengths are close to their equipartition values. Internal Faraday dispersion is the main cause of the depolarization observed.
