The build fiber optic splicing shops into trailers that

My old housemate spliced fiber cables. The device he often used was about
the size of a large briefcase. When he had his own fiber business, he wound
up buying a used ambulance because it already came with a high ceiling,
shelving, work space and flashing lights (for traffic safety).

BTW, you NEVER want to get glass fiber splinters!!! They're .004" in
diameter and impossible to see once in the flesh, even under a microscope.
I spent an hour hacking away with a scalpel and the only way I could
determine where the glass was located was because the scalpel stopped
cutting meat when it hit the glass. The flesh moved differently when hit by
the knife.
