Cowboy Splicing LLC is the leading fiber optic cable joining, repair and testing provider in the United States. Formed by Aaron and Allen Gumpenberger with 25 years of experience in the U.S. cable splicing industry, they are highly respected by many major telecommunication companies. Using light signals to transmit data, fiber optic cable is at the forefront of the technological revolution. This light is made up of photons when applied to fiber optics travel at approximately 125000 miles per second (mps) through a small 250 micron glass fibers. The cable sheath helps to contain the photons which would dissipate if not protected and allows them to bounce chaotically down the line. This chaotic movement is what helps to explain the speeds achieved through fiber optics. The high data transmission rate can literally travel across the country in milliseconds. Though it needs to have the fiber optic highway in place to complete the journey.
