please let us in on how you climate control 24"-24" vault. . maybe by putting a central ac unit above it? the climate controlled vaults are usually around a 8 to 10 feet concrete vault. you dont really suggest putting that in front of everyones house do you? |

Well actually you may have a point (although worded a little strangely). If you dig deep enough underground you will pretty much encounter the same temperature year round. Once you go a few feet underground the temperature will remain in the 50's or 60's year round. |

I think what the guy was referring to was some hubsites that are somewhat climate controlled. Sealed vaults that need to be purged before you can even go in them because of gases.
Those however are not the vaults that anyone is speaking of.

It is 65 degrees at 4 feet year round I believe. However whether or not their cover will maintain that is another story, but I would imagine it would be pretty good. |

Anything installed below frost depth will maintain a constant temperature anywhere from 50-60^ regardless of air temperature, it's called average soil temperature and depends on latitude. |

At 8-12 feet you reach an area that will be warmer or colder 6 months out of phase with the weather i.e summer warmth wiill reach and effect that level around january.
this is convienent from ground looped (earth coupled) heat pumps, but not so good for easy acessible cable connections.
and then comes ground water problems, cable guys shouldn't need scuba gear 
Deep burial is impractical for most residental applications |
