This box will live in a powered cabinet or a tiny rural exchange. In cabinet is actually how everyone else bar CityFibre and Openreach deliver as standard. This is a way to extend reach without having to modify the wholesale product in any way – same Cablelinks connect these customers as those directly served by the headend OLT. First of all, you might notice our engineers working nearby. Don’t worry, they’re just busy making sure our network is ready for you. Whilst no one needs to be in for this, a decision maker needs to be present when we install your connection.

What equipment will I get with Fibre to the Home or - BT

Ethernet connection is normal between Openreach fibre modem and Hub (Port 1 is where engineer will install). If a ladder is required during the installation, our engineer may need to drill temporary holes outside your property to work safely. Don't worry as the engineer will fill the holes and leave it neat and tidy. I’d recommend getting BT to send an Openreach Engineer out to replace it as they can get the correct ones direct from their Supply Chain. Per my comment to NGA C+ optics with FEC provides a reach of 58km on a 4:1 split. The other 40km will be the 10G Ethernet link from the subtended OLT to the headend.If you are a fibre customer, it’s likely you’ll have an Openreach modem (or ONT) installed. This white box connects to a fibre-optic cable that runs to your house and enables you to access our FTTP fibre network for broadband and voice. Once everything is set up, we’ll demonstrate that your Fibre service is working and run a speed test. C+ optics alongside FEC produce a reach of 58km on a 4:1 split. The other 40km comes from the 10G link between the subtended OLT and the headend. It was hoped the FTTC phase would create all the POP and AGN@s needed in rural for both FTTC, FTTP in-fill and support 4G-5G. I ask C+ optics question in this context.

If you rent your property that you have the landlord's permission for us to drill a small hole on the inside and outside of the building.Agree it would be nice if it was PoE for those with PoE switches which is quite common with IP based CCTV systems these days. The ONT tends to be installed inside your home (wall hung), usually near to where the fibre optic cable physically enters the property, and it’s primary job is simply to take that optical signal and convert it into an electrical one so that you can hook-up a broadband router via a standard LAN / Ethernet port.
