Cabinet Curiosity


[link to this post]
 
Curious to know what some of these local cabinets are.

First - this one I do understand, it is the one specced here:

I'm pretty sure that the pod has been added in the last month.


About 10m away, on the opposite side of the road is this: https://i.postimg.cc/3rczyJh4/B.jpg


Only a few m from A is this: https://i.postimg.cc/hj4NmXhx/C.jpg

And just around the corner from my house are these two: https://i.postimg.cc/QNfhf33h/D-E.jpg

A) PCP with G-Fast
B) FTTC most likely that associated with 1)
C) Cable (you can see CATV on the manhole in front of the cabinet)
D-E) Most likely more cable.
C, D & E have nothing to do with Openreach

E is a cable telephone cabinet - it's where the old school copper phone lines go, D is its power pillar.

Building better networks, not just faster ones.

On the same subject (hence using this thread), I was driving round the West Midlands the other day and noticed numerous BT cabinets marked "HCCP", alongside the normal numbered PCPs. Any idea what these are for? Just curious as I've never seen them before but I spotted several in the same area.
