Qualifications
Looking for experienced teams of coax splicers and sweep techs to assist on an upgrade project in West Virginia. Prefer coax splicers to have at least 5 years experience on upgrades. There is some new build, but 95% is upgrading 450MHz to 1 GHz. New nodes, turnaround, new power supply activation. Sweep techs need to be able to troubleshoot and identify bad spans of coax. They should be able to splice in replaced cable spans if necessary. No button pushers.
Other Requirements
Sweep Gear is SDA 5000. TDR is highly recommended to isolate cable spans needing to be replaced. Splicers should have meter capable of checking digital channels and DOCSIS levels at EOL. (DSAM or equivalent). Crews must have appropriate safety equipment, including signs, cones, harnesses, hard hats, vests. A good set of hooks or a ladder in good condition.
Job Description
This is a standard HFC upgrade from 450MHz to 1 GHz in rural West Virginia. The running is rural, spans are long, but there is a fair share of hook/ladder work involved. All sizes of cable are involved, including 650MC2, 750MC2, 500/625/750/875 P3, and 540/860QR in some areas. Nodes are being lit up now and ready for tie in and activation. There are several nodes already spliced and ready for sweep and certification. The equipment is SA/Cisco and we have trim boards in hand for the sweep. Node + 6 is max cascade. Coax or sweep crews that can replace their own coax can do so if they want. It is not required, but the opportunity is there for some extra $$$. After sweep is completed the customer will evaluate the ingress and determine if noise mitigation should be performed. That is an additional payable item. Complete nodes will require proof of performance testing at the node and 2 field locations. We would prefer sweep crews that can also perform those tests. They will require an HP8591C or AT200RQv digital analyzer. The plant is mostly digital channels with analog carriers in place for balancing purposes. A SDA5000 (w/digital), DSAM, or Trilithic 860 would be recommend for coax splicers.
We can put crews to work immediately. Splice and sweep crews of 4 or more are preferred, but smaller crews and singles will be considered as well.
