Metal bracket/fitting on pole, new fttp coming soon


[link to this post]
 
Hi all,
My area Clacton on Sea is in the process of getting FTTP installed, drove past some poles whilst out today to see a metal bracket added to some poles with a bundle of cable hanging from said poles.
I've added a picture of something the same I found on google search, but mention of what they are.
Are they a bracket for FTTP equipment or bracket to expand pole capacity or something else?
What is this???

That’s the bracket Openreach use to mount more than one CBT to a pole

I did not think they climb the poles like that these days, when they had to get up to the top of the pole here a couple of years ago, they used a cherry picker, Health and safety stopped them climbing it.
I don't blame them, it has been up there for a few years, it doesn't look in too good a condition smile

If they needed a cherry picker for every pole climb all Openreach engineers would need a cherry picker. The last time I checked there was only 1 cherry picker available for the whole of my exchange area and you needed to book it if you needed it.

Not round here, they still strap a set of ladders on the side of the pole, hook up their dungarees and go for a goosey.
