I believe it also takes power from the sister (fttc) cabinet

It's like what @partial said in reference to the hybrid cable. It would make sense as deploying it would be a lot easier.

Looks like it, from what partial says as well . Though how it is fed through other than a draw-pull is beyond me.

I could understand there being the fibre plus a separate power lead, but not a combined one. Maybe a combined power lead and fibre tube to blow the fibre through?

But you were meaning fibre plus phone copper, and it most certainly isn't.

I do not think that is what I was meant.

My apologies. I hadn't scrolled far enough down your link to see the diagram.

No problem. I wanted to avoid linking to the image directly, but in hindsight it would have perhaps been better to do so.

It's a combined fibre and power cable (hybrid).
Nice and red as well

I shall retire, more or less gracefully . [chuckle]

Thanks .

Apologies then, I thought you were on about something else
