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

Self%20installation%20guideExperts have warned that the speed of Britain's broadband is falling way behind that of our European neighbours.
With high-speed internet access becoming more and more of a necessity, we are running the risk of future internet developments accelerating away from what our aging UK networks can cope with.
Britain's broadband is delivered to the majority of users via twisted-pair telephone lines. This broadband technology depends upon advanced digital signal processing and creative algorithms to compress data. This new technology is relying on the old technology of the UK's aging phone networks to deliver the service and cracks are now beginning to show.
Broadband customers are increasingly becoming dissatisfied with the speeds they are receiving; this has not been helped by ISP's luring customers in with promises of cheap broadband with speeds of "up to" 8Mbps. The reality is that few will be able to achieve even half this speed.
There are too many factors that can affect the quality of broadband speeds via the telephone line to ever make it a reliable service. These include:
?How close you are to the exchange (the closer you are then the faster your connection)
?The amount of people being served by your local exchange
?The length and gauge of the line from the exchange
?Electromagnetic noise from other lines. So basically, this can mean the quality of the wiring within your own house.
?The quality of the modem you use
It's obvious that we need a new way of delivering broadband to the users if we are ever going to keep up with the rest of the world.
Fibre optics is the way forward, but laying fibre cables to every house in the UK is impractical and expensive.
A solution to the problem could lie in using 360,000 miles of pipelines that are already under our feet. The sewage systems!
A company called H20 Networks has already provided super fast broadband to Universities in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Bournemouth via their sewage systems. They are enjoying high-speed fibre connections that provide speeds of up to 20Gbps!
It's a cost effective and quick solution to what would be an expensive and time consuming problem. With Japan and Paris already using sewer-based fibre networks, it looks likely that Britain will be forced to follow suit. For the millions of internet users who are already beginning to get impatient with their service providers false promises, this can't come soon enough.
