Well it's not a splitter node, as suggested elsewhere, that's a fibre DP node. No power required to either of these types of node, PON innit ! Passive Optical Network.

The two smaller feeds with the yellow whipping are the the feed in, and out again, dropping one or two fibres in the DP. The larger black tube with the yellow stripe is BFT (blown fibre tubing containing twelve 4mm tubes inside) and is going off to a fibre manifold somewhere.

The blue ropes are going off to nearby premises ready to pull in copper. but more likely single BFT's to the various properties as and when they order.

I thought it was a DP Node, we have them in all our chamber/pits, it was where the last time I saw them when they was installed was back in 2011 and wasn't too sure if it was the round one or this one.

So the smaller ones are a bit like a daisy chain where it goes in this one and then out into the next one down the road.

As for the larger one it goes into the manifold (black bottle) up the phone pole.

Erm, I think in this case thats not the case, I think its to pull through the fibre tubing betwnn chambers, all premises are connected to the phone pole.

Also this is for FTTP which doesn't touch the copper phone line.

That also explains why that's an 'old style' DP node.

....errm. You do know what I do for a living Paul, don't you ?

Well basically long story short (well sort of LOL), we basically was suppose to of got FTTP installed down our road and side roads along with several other cabinets back in end of 2011 as part of the 66% Commercial Rollout (has also been confirmed by BT on phone and email), however BTOR got called off in mid install, (hence parts of our road and side roads getting FTTP and us just got up to the point of having all the hardware, just no blown fibre), to work on the BDUK installs etc, but seems BTOR may of forgotten about our area, well until I got our MP involved, its only now that they have started to come back to our area working on chambers/pits etc, BTOR have told me if all goes well I should be able to order FTTP from start of July (seems a bit optimistic due to being only 2 to 3 weeks away), so all progress I hope.

Well, not really, you can PM me if you don't want it public.

I used to work for a company that did work for the M.O.D, but had to leave due to ill health, which was a shame due to I really liked it there.

Sorry for the delay...
Here is that Image 1 and Image 2 of it all completed
