Thanks for Ribble

Thanks for all the information you've provided to myself and other users here.

In our case we're nearly done with a complete FTTC deployment, MYHLT 82 large Huawei number 2 is all stood and shouldn't have too long now before it's good to go, and the final cabinet covering the area is scheduled to be stood in a couple of weeks.

Really appreciate the time you take, your own time, to answer questions here.

Thanks to all for the messages. I susspect cab 82 is just waiting copper but there is a problem with PCP capacity so may require a stand-off cab she'll to be fitted

Yes, well said. Ribble one of the very polite and helpful members on this forum that makes it both pleasent and (extra) useful, as it has been for me over the decade or so since first getting ADSL and the rollout that was happening back then.

So a thank you from me, too.

Did you see this thread or was it too far down the page?

Seeing as I often refer to you in posts, I'm sure you already know my high regard for you .

Hi Ribble,

This doesn't surprise - when I looked in there as I was passing a couple of weeks ago there wasn't much space left!

Does this mean a new, larger shell on the existing PCP or that another cabinet is required?

82 must by now have around 650 premises on it and inevitably more lines. Probably bigger than most.

The jumper blocks that were present were pretty full, too.

I expect "she'll" was an auto-spellcorrect of "shell" .

Indeed. I susspect a stand-off maybe fitted, a small extension to the shell as 82 already has the largest shell fitted

Good news for the person at #34 Waggon Road who now has 2 x Huawei 288 and the PCP outside their front door

I assume they have a bridge over them.

Access isn't a problem it's just not a super-attractive thing to look at.

That was mid-construction. Only cabinets left now

I was meaning the expected result .

I'm sure it'll look even more awesome once the PCP extension has been done.

I have no idea how many premises an average PCP serves but I guess this one is somewhat above it.

Ribble,

Is it a common scenario to have a maxed out Huawei 288 cabinet and maxed out PCP?

No, must be a very full PCP

Ribble, I don't suppose you'd be able to cast your eyes over SMATL (Asthall Leigh) Cabinet 1?

The FTTC cab has been in the ground since mid last year but it's still not live.

FTTC cabinet can hold 288 but how many can hold on PCP cabinet?

And today the date on the BDUK project site has moved again from end of March 2015 to end of June 2015?!

As I understand it this particular cabinet has 599 d-sides connected which correspond to 599 e-sides munching 1,200 jumpers worth of capacity, 12 x 100 pair blocks.

On the FTTC side another 800 jumpers of blocks consumed.

I don't know which PCP Openreach use, though certainly some are 1,200 pair.
