If these roadworks you mention are at the same location as then FTTC & PCP cabinets then it's probably just an error. I've seen it happen to quite a few of ours, cabs were installed and roadworks show another cab scheduled to be installed, but nothing happened.

You make no sense, You ask if its a FTTC cab, then reply saying its in but not live.. so if you know its an FTTC cab, why are you asking what it is?!!?!?

Thanks, that sound like what it is

Is a DSLAM another name for a fibre cab?

Basically yes, although the DSLAM strictly speaking is just a piece of equipment that's in the cabinet.

Thanks, gotcha now. I assumed incorrectly by the looks of it that the DSLAM was something that was going to be installed in to the new cab thats been there for a few months. So looks like what you said that its a false report on roadworks.

Thanks for your help

That's an understatement Ronski . The whole raison d'etre of the fibre cab is to contain a DSLAM plus the gear to support and connect it.

So what I said was correct then .

I think what threw me was roadworks, saying "install new DSLAM" when a few months ago it said "Provide one NGA cab and base" which was when the fibre cab and base was fitted
