High Quality Fiber Optic Splice Tent For Fiber Cabling Contractors

Now everybody enjoys the convenience of emails, instant message, great web sites and even VoIP phone calls that high speed fiber optic communication network provides. But have you ever wondered how those magic fiber optic cables are installed from San Francisco to New York?

One secret weapon all those fiber optic cable installers must have to conquer the rough task of installing fiber cables in 50mph windy days, 120F hot summers and -40C freezing winters: A high quality fiber optic splice tent.

Fiber optic splice tents provide outside plant fiber installers a peaceful work space even in those harsh outdoor environments. They are highly portable (in most cases) and can withstand up to 60mph wind.

Some fiber work tents have a reflective suncap to effectively reduce temperatures in the tent. Typically, temperatures inside of a fiber optic splice tent can be reduced to 20% below outside temperatures. The suncap is made of metalized fabric, designed to reflect the sun's heat rays.

Some tents are designed for aerial line work. They have rotatable clamps so the tent can be fastened to a strand or gate guard without any additional hardware. They even have fiberglass legs for added safety.

Fiber work tents come in many different sizes and configurations. They range from 4'x4'x6.5' up to 12'x10'x8.5'. Specialized fiber splice tents are designed for ground work, aerial line work and many other applications.

How to set up a fiber optic splice tent in just 30 seconds

1. Lift roof strut and uncover the fiberglass rods

2. Grab rods connected to roof struts-raise and spread

3. Raise high enough for bottom rods to spread out tent side

4. Hold upper rod with one hand-push disc out and down with other hand

5. Grab rods connected to roof struts-raise and spread

6. Spread lower legs push out and down

7. Pop out side

DS3 Bandwidth Pricing Is Getting Cheaper - How To Best Take Advantage

The predicted end to dropping DS3 bandwidth pricing is premature as the downward pricing trend continues. Service providers are up against stiffer competition and are desperate for new customers to fill their pipes and turn a profit. If you're ready to negotiate for a rock bottom price, first consider a few of the reasons for the drop in price on DS3 bandwith. A little preperation will allow you to take best advantage of the situation.

DS3 bandwidth pricing had reduced as companies have gone out of business and the large number of telecommunications companies are fighting for a place in a smaller market. While many service providers did have room to lose margin, many have come dangerously close to the edge of selling circuits at a loss and many have gone beyond this point. It seems that in the race to the bottom many providers failed to learn the lesson that selling at a loss does not create a long lasting and healthy company no matter how many circuits or widgets you sell. Many companies selling at a loss have already been in bankruptcy and look like they will repeat this exercise as they did not learn from their first go around. So, solvency of the DS3 bandwidth provider should be a consideration when looking at great bargains.

Another consideration in bargain shopping for DS3 service is the fact that all DS3's are not created equal. Many providers are convinced (and rightly so) that customers are focused on price and are not concerned with quality of service. Many providers are now oversubscribing DS3 service connections as though they were DSL connections. This means you may not get the bandwidth you thought you would get. Make sure when you look for that bargain price you also review the SLA (Service Level Agreement) and make sure the contract protects you and guarantees you will get the bandwidth to which they committed. Remember, when bargain hunting for DS3 service you'll most likely get what you pay for.

So the general moral to the story is by all means do negotiate for the best price you can get. But....ensure that critical factors such as reliability, Service Level Agreement, QoS, and scalability are met in addition to price attractiveness. For this I receommend sticking with a Tier1 provider for best price AND piece of mind. It just makes business sense.
