FTTP Install with Nokia ONT - Pictures Enclosed

Hi all,

I had my FTTP install done on Friday and I was a stage 1 install. Below are pictures of the CSP and the new Nokia ONT Model G-01G-Q. The install was very quick even though I needed a dig team to repair a duct at the end of my driveway.

I ordered on Sunday 17th May, the first engineer was out on Tuesday 19th to rod and rope. A blockage was found and arranged a dig team. Roadworks appeared online within a couple of days with the planned work dates

The dig team arrived on Thursday 28th late afternoon. They couldn't find my duct and returned first thing Friday 29th. It was repaired and roped by lunchtime.

Engineer arrived on Friday 5th at 11 am and finished by 1 pm

I am really impressed with the process in the current climate.

Re the CSP photo - if that UG fibre cable is the new flat type (ROC it's called) then that cable gripper should be reversed to hold it in place properly.

Do you have the dimensions (H x W x D) of your new type CSP?

It is 17cm x 14cm x 3cm

Do you mean inside? This?

Yes. The 2 screws come out and the plastic piece gets reversed so the ridges are facing in the way, if it’s the flat type of cable.

Many thanks

Thank you for that

I have just had a look at it does seem to be the flat type of cable. I guess I could swap it around once the rain has stopped. To limited problems in the future.

Also the engineer has routed the cable going to the house through the wrong hole (should be the upper hole, lower hole is for copper) but more worryingly has not installed the rubber grommet, both of which are still in their holders in the lid. Best not try to fix that though.

Yeah, I won't be fixing that. I did see the grommets. He has used some clear silicon on the hole.

I guess the good thing is that it is their responsibility and any issues they are liable to fix them.

I wouldn't be happy with the tight fibre bends above and below the splice point, the fibre should follow the curved guides to hold it at a larger radius. I expect the OR guys are rushing to get the job done rather than do it properly!

Its working so leave everything how it is,

To be honest that is what I am going to do. I am getting my full speed down and up so I can't complain.
Speed Test

Both radius' are above the radius of a 50 pence piece,

I don't think the new CSP's are especially 'craft sensitive" I've used them in anger for the first time in the last few days ...... not so fond of the new larger splice protectors either.

i notice although it says nokia on the ONT it also says "made in china" !!

Which is where most Nokia products are most probably made.
