I doubt they will place a pod on a PCP extension even if there was enough space
I wonder what their future plans are to deal with gfast capacity?

In reply to a post by adslmax:

Thought they going to put two pods on this pcp cabinet (left and right side) because of two large FTTC cabinets (huawei 288)

Well only one PCP expansion pod is usually necessary, isn't it, i.e. the first DSLAM would have been built for it and fully connected without a pod.

I suspect a bigger pcp or somehow denser block terminals to take up less space.

It's a good question. That's a fairly big cabinet, but with very high FTTC take-up and needed the PCP extension to go along with the install of the second cabinet.

A single pod would be fine even here if they can get the tech to 96 ports per pod.

This guy is fairly sharpish in the commercial programme once the pilots are done so will find out.

There's plenty space on the left!
Certainly wouldn't like to be the engineer working the PCP if fully subscribed though. 288+288+96? extra pairs.
Theoretically could end up being 384+384+96
