FTTP

[link to this post]

I read and learn lots on this forum but didn't know the actual fibre cable wasn't taken from the nearest cabinet until reading another post on here tonight.

Where does the fibre cable come from before it gets to our premises.

Apologies for the "Newbie" question but.....

If you don't ask...�� laugh

To flesh out Mr.Saffron�s reply ...

Head end/exchange ... aggregation node ... splitter node ... DP node (sometimes, but not always) ... manifold or CBT ... (CSP sometimes) ... ONT
