Product Information

Far safer to just provide an easily replaceable, locked down NTE and have clear demarcation and easier replacement. Think of LOS as showing a cut in the fibre connection, whereas PON is indicating your connection at the other end of the network.

Making space in existing cabinets (or extending those cabinets) does require a few changes but the actual splitter (aka – mini-head end or mini-OLT [Optical Line Terminals]) looks like this. This whole thing is, as I’ve said, much more akin to cable / HFC network layout than point to point fibre and has to be considered in that way. One upside of doing rural is that it does come with some permission to break from the constraints of the past.

Quite a niche case again – most people don’t have PoE switches let alone structured cabling within their walls.

Same wholesale product, same terms, the bonuses I mentioned above relative to terminating and having handovers in loads of much smaller, rural areas. If you've got Fibre to the Home or Fibre Home Phone you'll get a modem, a battery back-up unit and a BT Hub (if you don't have one already). From there, a much smaller cable will be run inside to a small, powered, wall-mounted unit that we’ll plug your router into.Still not sure why I have an engineer visiting for landline though, as you say it may be the fttp engineer. I guess its because some households already have an ONT modem thats functional so no need for openreach. Operators do it in their own proprietary way so Openreach don’t mix and match vendors across the PON. If the Power light is off, check that the Openreach modem is connected correctly to the Battery Back Up Unit using the white power cable. That’s more than adequate for the foreseeable with chassis upgrades required to increase backplane capacity to go beyond that as the chassis goes up to 80Gb/s capacity per slot.
