so here is what i'm talking about :

the far left by the gate is where i'd need it installed.
to the right is the front door where it currently comes in for copper.

now the bends it would need to take if it was to be tacked to the front of the house are 90degrees so can that cable bend like that?

thanks


The fibre cabling bends at 90 degrees at 4 locations around the door frame in my home and its never affected my fibre service, so I don't see why the same cabling can't go at 90 degrees on an external wall.

Great thanks.

Now to go back to waiting. Openreach still pulling fibre, not sure how long after all that bit is complete before I can place an order.

Rule of thumb is bend radius of about the size of a £2 coin.

Building better networks, not just faster ones.

Gigaclear supply "cable lead-in units" specifically for making it easier to do just that.
