Underground Cable Work Keeps Cedar Rapids Phone Lines Dry
Northwestern Bell crews renew splices in two lead-sheathed underground cables at Fifth Avenue and Second Street SE Cedar Rapids. They work 24 hours in eight hour shifts to drive out moisture test connections with a central office and seal cables with nitrogen at 12 pounds to prevent moisture intrusion and outages. The 3,636 wire cable near The Gazette building is tested by color codes and paraffin boiling out to ensure dry, sound connections.
